There is no short-term rental registry in Pico Rivera. The only registration in the code is the Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate that lodging operators must obtain, plus the citywide business license every business needs.
Pico Rivera has no dedicated short-term rental registration program. The nearest registration duty is in the Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax ordinance, Municipal Code Chapter 3.36: each operator renting occupancy to transients must register with the Tax Administrator within thirty days and obtain a Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate posted on the premises. Separately, the City requires a business license for all businesses operating in Pico Rivera through its HdL business-license portal. Neither of these is an STR-specific registry, and because zoning does not list STRs as an allowed residential use, no residential STR registration exists.
Failing to obtain a Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate or business license is a Municipal Code violation; an unpermitted STR use is separately citable as a zoning violation.
