Moorpark may apply annual night caps on unhosted short-term rentals to preserve neighborhood character and limit conversion of single-family homes into year-round commercial lodging in residential zones under MMC Title 5.
Under the city's STR program, unhosted rentals (where the operator is not present) can face annual rental-night limits that hosted stays do not. The cap is meant to discourage purely investor-owned STRs from operating like full-time hotels. Hosts must track booking nights and report annually as part of permit renewal. Exceeding the cap is grounds for non-renewal. Applicants should confirm current cap thresholds with Community Development before listing, since limits can change with council action and ongoing housing-supply concerns.
Exceeding the annual night cap on unhosted stays results in permit denial at renewal, fines, and potential listing-platform reporting to enforce compliance.
