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

The City of Reedley has not enacted a specific short-term rental ordinance as of the current code (through Ord. 2025-007). There is no dedicated STR permit, registration, or licensing system in the municipal code. However, anyone operating a short-term rental must comply with existing city regulations. The Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax (RMC Chapter 3-7) applies to transients occupying hotel rooms for 30 consecutive calendar days or less, and the TOT definition of hotel includes any structure used for lodging. Operators must also obtain a general business license under RMC Chapter 3-2 (Licensing). Reedley's zoning code (Title 10) governs permitted uses in residential zones, and prospective STR operators should verify that their property's zoning allows transient lodging use. The lack of a specific STR ordinance means there are no local rules on maximum night caps, host occupancy requirements, or platform-specific regulations. California state law, including Government Code provisions on accessory dwelling units and short-term rental taxation, applies. Fresno County does not impose countywide STR regulations that would apply within Reedley city limits.
