Tuolumne County does not impose annual night caps or day-per-year limits on short-term rentals in unincorporated areas. Operators must hold a TOT Certificate and pass a Fire and Life Safety Inspection under Ordinance Code Chapter 8.70.
Unlike some California jurisdictions that limit the number of nights per year a property can be rented short-term, Tuolumne County imposes no annual night cap. STR operators in unincorporated areas can rent year-round as long as they hold a valid Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Certificate from the Tax Collector's Office and have passed the required Fire and Life Safety Inspection per Chapter 8.70. The county's tourism economy (Yosemite gateway, Gold Country, ski resorts) relies heavily on vacation rentals in communities like Twain Harte, Groveland, and Pine Mountain Lake.
Operating without TOT Certificate or Fire and Life Safety Inspection: violation of Chapter 8.70. Contact Code Compliance at 209-533-6511.
