LA requires Home-Sharing Registration through the Planning Department HSR system. Primary-residence-only, 89 dollar fee, registration number must appear on all platform listings.
LAMC 12.22 A.32 requires every short-term rental host in Los Angeles to obtain a Home-Sharing Registration (HSR) through the Planning Department online portal before listing on any platform. Only primary residences qualify, meaning the host must occupy the unit at least six months per calendar year and reside on-site or elsewhere within the City of LA. Accessory dwelling units built after 2016, rent-controlled units, and non-primary properties are categorically ineligible. The application fee is 89 dollars, and the registration number must be displayed on every Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking dot com listing. Hosts pay Transient Occupancy Tax and renew annually. False statements or ineligible listings result in fines up to 2,000 dollars per day.
