Garden Grove does not currently impose an annual night cap limiting the total number of nights a property may be rented as a short-term rental under Chapter 5.68. Operators with a valid STR permit may rent their property year-round, subject to compliance with all other permit conditions. The city reviews STR regulations periodically and may implement night caps in the future.
Unlike some California cities that limit short-term rentals to 90, 120, or 180 nights per year, Garden Grove's Chapter 5.68 does not impose an annual night cap on permitted STR properties. Operators who obtain and maintain a valid STR permit may rent their property throughout the year without a maximum night restriction. However, all rentals must comply with noise, occupancy, parking, and registration requirements. The city tracks STR activity through the permit program and collects transient occupancy tax on all rental nights. Garden Grove periodically reviews its STR regulations and may consider implementing night caps based on community feedback and housing availability concerns. Contact Community Development at (714) 741-5312 for current STR regulations.
While no night cap applies, operating without a valid STR permit or failing to pay transient occupancy tax on rental nights is subject to fines and penalties under Chapter 5.68. Report unpermitted rentals to Code Enforcement at (714) 741-5792.
