Unincorporated Los Angeles County limits short-term rentals to the host's primary residence under Title 22.140.290, defined as the dwelling occupied by the host for at least six months of the calendar year.
Title 22.140.290 defines a primary residence as the dwelling unit where the host physically lives at least 184 days of the taxable year. The Department of Regional Planning issues permits only after verifying residency through California driver's license, voter registration, vehicle registration, federal or state tax returns, and utility bills tied to the address. Investment properties, second homes, and accessory dwelling units that are not the host's primary residence are excluded. A host may register only one primary residence countywide. The Department audits randomly and on complaint; falsified residency proof voids the permit and bars reapplication for two years. Contract cities and incorporated cities apply their own ordinances.
Renting a non-primary unit, registering more than one residence, or submitting false residency proof leads to permit revocation, fines up to 1,000 dollars per day, and a two-year reapplication bar under Title 22.140.290(I).
