Short-term rental permit rules in Delano, CA — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Delano has not adopted a short-term rental (STR) ordinance. STRs operate under the general residential-use rules of the underlying zone, the city Business Tax Certificate (BTC) requirement, and California's Transient Occupancy Tax authority.
Any STR operator must obtain a Delano BTC like any other business. Without a specific STR ordinance, occupancy limits default to California Building Code requirements for the residence type. STR operators should verify HOA CC&Rs do not prohibit short-term rentals.
Operating without a BTC is a misdemeanor; HOA violations are civil matters between the operator and association.
