Lodi places no annual cap on the number of nights a property may be rented as a short-term rental. The 30-day TOT threshold is the only night-related boundary in the code.
Unlike San Francisco (90 nights for un-hosted rentals) or Santa Monica (hosted-only model), the Lodi Municipal Code does not impose an annual cap on the number of nights a property can be rented as a short-term rental. The only night-related rule that matters is the TOT cutoff: stays of 30 days or fewer are taxable as transient occupancy at 6% plus 4.5% LTBID; stays of 31 consecutive days or more are exempt from TOT and generally fall under California landlord-tenant rules instead. There is no hosted-vs-unhosted distinction, no primary-residence requirement, and no rental-day ledger to file with the City.
Because no night cap exists, there is no penalty for exceeding a numeric night threshold. Enforcement still applies for failing to remit TOT on taxable nights, operating without a Home Occupation Permit under LMC §17.36.060, or generating noise/parking violations under LMC Chapter 9.24 and Title 10.
