Corona, CA Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Permits (2026)

55 flatly prohibits short-term residential rentals rather than licensing them. 030(A) makes it unlawful for any person or entity to offer, make available for rent, or actually rent a short-term residential rental unit (30 consecutive days or less) for compensation. Subsection (B) also bans advertising such a rental, and subsection (C) makes it unlawful to occupy one under a rental agreement. The only carve-out is subsection (D): a unit that was legally operating as a short-term rental before the ban took effect may continue as a "legal nonconforming" rental strictly under the terms of the city's uncodified Ordinance No.

3383 (adopted October 18, 2023), but only until that unit's existing short-term residential rental unit permit expires. 020 as any dwelling unit, or portion of one, made available for occupancy of 30 consecutive calendar days or less; even a lease drafted for a longer term counts if it is later amended, orally or in writing, to let the occupant leave within 30 days. Hotels, motels, and city-approved bed and breakfasts are expressly excluded from the definition. Because there is no ongoing permit program for new operators, anyone asking "how do I get a short-term rental permit in Corona" is asking about a program the city eliminated; the honest answer is that new short-term rentals cannot be permitted at all under current law.
