Perris, CA Short-Term Rentals: Registration Rules (2026)

Registration is handled by the City of Perris, not Riverside County. Section 5.38.050 requires the application to include the owner's contact information, the agent's details where an agent is used, a 24-hour emergency contact located within a 25-mile radius of the rental, a valid transient occupancy tax registration, a signed acknowledgment that the owner has read and will comply with the regulations, and the applicable fee. Section 5.38.040 allows the owner to designate an agent to act on the owner's behalf, but the owner remains responsible for compliance. Under Section 5.38.060 the director investigates each application and issues the license unless grounds for denial exist, such as false or misleading statements, failure to meet the chapter's requirements, or unpaid fees. The license expires one year from issuance and is not transferable; Section 5.38.070 provides that renewal applications may be accepted at least 60 days before expiration. As an operational registration duty, Section 5.38.080 requires the owner to maintain a guest log containing the name, address, and driver's license number or passport copy of the primary adult guest, retained for two years and available for inspection. Refusal to allow inspection of the log is a ground for suspension or revocation under Section 5.38.090.
