Thousand Oaks does not cap the number of nights per year an STR may be rented. Unlike some coastal jurisdictions limiting unhosted rentals to 90 or 120 nights, Thousand Oaks permits year-round operation under TOMC Title 5 with proper permitting.
Annual night caps are a common tool used by tourist-heavy California cities to balance STR economics against long-term housing supply. Thousand Oaks has not adopted a night cap, allowing licensed STRs to operate up to 365 nights per year. Operators must still pay TOT monthly, maintain a 24/7 local contact, and comply with occupancy and parking rules. The city tracks operational data through its registration system and may revisit caps if neighborhood complaints or housing-stock impacts emerge.
There is no per-night-cap violation, but operating without a current STR permit or failing to remit TOT triggers administrative citations and potential permit revocation under TOMC Title 5.
