Sacramento County does not impose a blanket annual night cap on STRs. Non-hosted rentals may face higher scrutiny than hosted rentals under Zoning Code 3.10.
Unincorporated Sacramento County Zoning Code Chapter 3.10 does not set a specific annual night cap on short-term rentals. Both hosted (owner present) and non-hosted (whole-home) rentals are permitted year-round with a valid STR permit. Some overlay zones or resort-residential areas may have additional limits. California has no statewide STR night cap, leaving the matter to local control. The county can impose conditions through permit review if operations generate repeated complaints.
Unpermitted operation beyond permit terms: fines and revocation under Zoning Code 3.10.
