Summary

Roseville caps short-term rentals at 182 days per calendar year, and only allows them on a parcel where the permittee's primary residence sits. A primary residence is defined as the home the permittee occupies at least 183 days a year, so a host cannot rent the same unit as a full-time vacation rental.

C. All eligible short-term rentals shall be located on a parcel developed with the permittee's primary residence and shall not be rented for more than 182 days per year as a short-term rental.

Full Breakdown

080(C) requires that all eligible short-term rentals be located on a parcel developed with the permittee's primary residence and not be rented for more than 182 days per year as a short-term rental, tying the annual cap directly to owner-occupancy. 040 defines primary residence as the single-family dwelling in which the permittee resides for at least 183 days during the calendar year, so the 182-day rental cap and the 183-day residency threshold together prevent the same dwelling from being both a full-time investment rental and the qualifying primary residence in the same year.

100(J) makes an application for an ADU or JADU short-term rental an independent ground for denial. 090(C)(3) lets the finance director impose reducing the number of days in a year that the permittee is allowed to provide lodging as a condition on the permit.

Violations & Fines

Renting a dwelling as a short-term rental for more than 182 days in a calendar year violates Section 4.25.080(C) and can trigger suspension, revocation, or an added condition reducing allowable rental days under Section 4.25.090(C)(3). Renting an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit on a short-term basis is barred outright under Section 4.25.080(B) and is grounds for permit denial under Section 4.25.100(J).
