Shasta County's short-term rental ordinance imposes no annual cap on the number of nights a property may be rented. Section 17.88.230 instead defines a short-term rental by stay length: rentals of 30 consecutive calendar days or less are short-term, while occupancy of 31 days or more is a long-term tenancy outside the ordinance.
Unlike some California jurisdictions that cap the number of rental nights per year, Shasta County's Ordinance SCC 2020-05 sets no annual night cap on short-term rentals. The ordinance regulates short-term rentals through permitting, occupancy, parking, noise and tax requirements rather than by limiting how many nights per year a permitted property can host guests. The key time threshold in Section 17.88.230(B) is the per-stay length: a 'short-term rental' (whether a vacation rental or a hosted homestay) provides accommodations for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days or less, while a 'long-term occupant' is a tenant or other occupant lawfully occupying the property for 31 consecutive calendar days or more. For transient occupancy tax purposes, County Code Chapter 3.16 likewise treats a 'transient' as anyone occupying for 30 consecutive calendar days or less, counting portions of days as full days, after which the occupant ceases to be subject to TOT. So the ordinance limits how long an individual booking can be (to remain a short-term rental) but does not limit the total number of nights or bookings across a year.
Because there is no annual night cap, exceeding a night count is not itself a violation. However, a single booking of 31 days or more is a long-term tenancy, not a short-term rental, and renting without the required permit, or in violation of occupancy, parking, noise or tax rules, remains an infraction under Section 17.88.230.
