Galt does not impose a fixed annual night cap on STRs. California has no statewide cap. Permit rules may differ for hosted versus unhosted rentals; many CA cities cap unhosted stays 90 to 180 nights.
California cities commonly cap unhosted STR rentals at 90 to 180 nights per year to preserve long-term housing stock, while permitting unlimited hosted stays where the owner lives on-site. Galt zoning and business license rules for STRs should be confirmed with Community Development. Where caps exist, the operator must track nights and submit an annual report. Platforms may share reservation data under a platform agreement. Exceeding the cap results in permit suspension and back-tax audits. The distinction between hosted and unhosted affects zoning classification, transient occupancy tax treatment, and parking requirements.
Exceeding night cap (if imposed): permit suspension, business license revocation, and possible audit for unreported TOT.
