Jurupa Valley does not have a primary-residence STR rule because all short-term rentals are prohibited regardless of whether the dwelling is the owner's primary residence. Chapter 4.15 of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code applies to any dwelling, in whole or in part, rented for less than 30 consecutive days.
Some California cities limit STRs to an owner's primary residence as a softer alternative to a full ban. Jurupa Valley does not. Section 4.15.020 makes it unlawful for 'any person or entity' to offer, occupy, or advertise a dwelling — 'in whole or in part' — for less than 30 consecutive days. There is no carve-out for owner-occupied homes, no annual night cap tied to primary residency, and no homestead exemption. Section 4.15.015(D) defines 'home-sharing' as an accessory use of a primary residence — making a room available while the owner remains in the unit — but the title of Ordinance No. 2023-10 (which adds 'requirements for home-sharing businesses') and the operative prohibition language treat home-sharing for stays under 30 days the same way it treats whole-home rentals: prohibited unless the use falls within an excluded category in Section 4.15.015(A) (city-approved hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and listed care/shelter uses). The companion zoning amendment in Section 9.35.070 confirms that STRs — including any home-sharing arrangement under 30 days — 'shall [not] be considered a permitted or conditionally permitted use in any zone classification.' Residents who want to host paid guests in their primary home must either pursue a bed-and-breakfast entitlement under Title 9 zoning or rent only in stays of 30 or more consecutive days.
Renting any portion of a primary residence for under 30 days violates Section 4.15.020(A); occupying it under such a rental violates Section 4.15.020(B); advertising it violates Section 4.15.020(C). Each is a public nuisance under Section 4.15.030(A), an infraction subject to misdemeanor escalation under Section 4.15.030(B), and carries administrative fines of $200, $500, and $1,000 under Section 4.15.030(D).
