The City of Orange requires a minimum two-night stay for all short-term rental bookings under OMC Chapter 5.94. Single-night bookings are not permitted.
Under OMC Chapter 5.94, all short-term rental bookings in the City of Orange must have a minimum two-night stay. Single-night bookings are prohibited. This requirement applies to all STR platforms and direct bookings. The minimum stay rule is intended to reduce the impact of party-oriented one-night rentals on residential neighborhoods. Operators must ensure that their listing platforms are configured to enforce the two-night minimum. Quiet hours for STR guests are 10:00 PM to 9:00 AM, more restrictive than the general noise ordinance's 10 PM to 7 AM window. The maximum number of STR permits in the city is capped at 125, and the waitlist is currently closed.
Accepting single-night bookings violates OMC Chapter 5.94 and may result in permit suspension or revocation, fines, and potential loss of the STR permit.
