Jurupa Valley, CA Short-Term Rentals: Permit Requirements (2026)

Ordinance No. 2023-10 added Chapter 4.15 (Prohibition of Short-Term Rentals) to Title 4 of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code and added Section 9.35.070 to the Zone Classifications chapter of Title 9. Section 4.15.020 makes it unlawful to (A) offer or make available a dwelling, in whole or in part, for rent for less than 30 consecutive days; (B) occupy such a dwelling under any rental, lease, or license arrangement for compensation; or (C) maintain any advertisement of such a rental. Section 9.35.070 states that 'no permit of any type shall be issued therefor' in any zone. The only carve-outs in Section 4.15.015(A) are city-approved hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, community care facilities, social care facilities, single-room occupancy facilities, farmworker housing, emergency shelters, transitional and supportive housing, and low-barrier navigation centers — none of which are owner-application STR categories. Because no permit pathway exists, there is no application form, fee schedule, inspection process, or transient occupancy tax registration for an STR in Jurupa Valley. Operators who want to host paid guests must either change the use to a city-approved lodging category through the zoning entitlement process or rent for terms of 30 consecutive days or more (which falls outside the Chapter 4.15 definition and is governed instead by state landlord-tenant law including AB 1482, Civ. Code §§1946.2 and 1947.12).
