Yorba Linda has no short-term rental registry. Because Chapter 5.50 prohibits STRs outright, there is no host registration, business license, or self-certification program for rentals under 30 days. The only City action for STRs is code enforcement against unlawful listings.
Unlike cities that license and register hosts, Yorba Linda does not operate any short-term rental registration system, because YLMC Chapter 5.50 makes operating an STR unlawful. There is no host registry, STR business tax certificate, annual renewal, or self-certification, because none would legalize an activity the code prohibits. The definition triggering the ban is a rental of a residential dwelling unit or accessory building for fewer than 30 consecutive days. Nothing in Chapter 5.50 creates a registration exemption or grandfathering path. Hosts of lawful long-term rentals (30 days or more) are not covered by Chapter 5.50. Confirm the current status of the chapter with the City's Planning Division.
Because there is no registry, there is nothing to register; instead, any short-term listing is unlawful under YLMC 5.50.030. The Code Enforcement Division investigates advertised and operating STRs and can issue administrative citations and fines. Report suspected rentals at 714-961-7138.
