Rancho Cordova does not impose a specific annual cap on the number of nights a short-term rental can be booked. Operators may rent host-occupied and non-host-occupied units year-round subject to TOT, business tax, and nuisance compliance. Stays of 30 or more consecutive days are not considered short-term and are exempt from TOT.
Unlike San Francisco (90 nights unhosted) or some coastal cities, Rancho Cordova has not adopted a numerical annual night cap for STRs. Operators may host throughout the year provided they remain in good standing on TOT remittance, maintain their business tax certificate, comply with noise and parking ordinances, and respond to neighbor complaints through the designated 24-hour local contact. Any rental of 30 consecutive days or more to the same tenant converts the arrangement to a residential tenancy rather than transient lodging, which exempts that stay from TOT but shifts it into landlord-tenant law (with eviction protections). Repeated nuisance violations can still result in suspension or revocation of the STR permit, which would functionally impose a cap.
No direct penalty for the number of nights. Nuisance accumulations and unremitted TOT trigger enforcement.
