Riverside County does not impose a countywide annual night cap on unincorporated STRs, but overlay districts (Wine Country, Idyllwild) and HOA CC&Rs may limit total rental nights.
Riverside County Ordinance No. 927 does not include a general cap on the number of nights a short-term rental may operate per year in unincorporated areas. However, specific policy areas have layered restrictions: the Temecula Valley Wine Country Community Plan, Idyllwild-Pine Cove community standards, and Coachella Valley Community Planning initiatives have considered or adopted caps ranging from 90 to 180 rental nights per year, particularly for non-owner-occupied whole-home rentals. Owner-occupied (hosted) STRs are generally allowed unlimited nights. HOAs and private deed restrictions may independently limit or prohibit STR use regardless of county permits. Hosts should confirm community-specific rules through the Planning Department before marketing a listing. California AB 938 and related legislation have also considered statewide STR frameworks, so hosts should monitor changes annually.
Exceeding cap in an overlay district can trigger strike-based enforcement and permit revocation; HOA violations are civil matters.
