Short-term rental permit rules in Florin, CA — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Florin STRs require a Short-Term Rental Permit from Sacramento County Planning & Environmental Review under SCC Chapter 4.08 and Zoning Code §3.9.3.AA. The property owner (or long-term renter) must occupy the home as their primary residence for at least six months per year, and only one STR may be operated per applicant.
Sacramento County rules limit STRs to a property owner's or long-term renter's primary residence. Only the primary dwelling or a legally permitted ADU built before January 1, 2020 qualifies - JADUs and guest houses are NOT eligible for STR use. Each rental party may stay no more than 29 consecutive days, only one party at a time, with maximum occupancy of two adults per bedroom. Public or commercial events are prohibited. Applications must be filed online through RentalScape - the County does not accept paper, mail, fax, or email applications.
Operating without a Short-Term Rental Permit is a Chapter 4.08 violation. Sacramento County Planning may revoke permits and issue administrative fines; unpermitted STRs are also subject to nuisance abatement and back-collection of the 12% Transient Occupancy Tax plus penalties.
