Selma does not have a dedicated STR registration program. Operators should obtain a general business license from the city. Registration with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration may be required for TOT remittance if the platform does not handle it.
The City of Selma has not created a specific short-term rental registration or licensing program. Operators are subject to the city's general business license requirements. Any person conducting business within the city limits, including renting property on a short-term basis, should obtain a business license through the Selma Finance Department. Additionally, operators may need to register with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) for transient occupancy tax purposes, depending on whether their hosting platform automatically collects and remits TOT. Selma's recent zoning code update (reducing Title XI from 35 chapters to 8) did not include specific STR registration provisions. The city's code enforcement division, reachable at (559) 891-2200, can advise on current requirements. Operators should also maintain records of all rentals, guest information, and tax payments in case of audit. Some California cities are moving toward STR registration portals, but Selma has not implemented one.
Operating without a business license: violation of Selma business license ordinance. Failure to register with CDTFA for TOT: state tax violation.
