Short-term rental permit rules in Lynwood, CA — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Lynwood has no short-term rental ordinance and issues no STR permit. The zoning code lists no vacation-rental use, and Appendix A states uses not shown as permitted are prohibited, so nightly rentals in homes are not authorized.
Lynwood's Municipal Code (current through Ord. 1786) contains no chapter, permit, or application for short-term or vacation rentals. Chapter 25 (Zoning) Appendix A, Uses by Zoning District, lists lodging uses only as 'Bed and breakfast' (R-3 by conditional use permit; permitted in C-2, C-2A, C-3) and 'Hotel'/'Motel' (commercial zones by CUP). No transient-rental use appears for R-1 or R-2 single-family zones. The table's legend states uses not shown as permitted, conditional, accessory, or temporary are prohibited in that district, and Section 25-1-7 bars any use except as specifically permitted. Anyone seeking a lodging use would need a conditional use permit under Article 130 (Section 25-130) or a director use determination, not an STR permit.
Operating an unpermitted transient use violates zoning; enforced via conditional use permit requirements, business license rules, and administrative citations under Chapter 20.
