Daly City, CA Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Daly City Municipal Code Section 5.92.050.C (added by Ordinance No. 1440) sets operating regulations for every permitted short-term rental. A listing may not be advertised for or used by more than two guests per bedroom plus two additional guests at one time, and each property is limited to one booking per day, whether that booking covers one bedroom, several bedrooms, or the entire home. Un-hosted stays (host off-site) are limited to a maximum of 100 days per year, while hosted stays (host on-site, except during daytime or work hours) have no annual limit. The ordinance also provides that no additional parking is required for short-term rentals, but existing on-site parking spaces must be made available to guests, and the rental must not generate noise, vibration, glare, or odors that unreasonably interfere with neighbors' enjoyment of their residences. A short-term rental may operate in conjunction with a long-term rental (more than 30 consecutive days) in the same home, and the chapter does not override any homeowners' association or condominium association rules restricting home-sharing.
