Summary
A short-term rental permit in unincorporated Ventura County lasts one year and can be revoked outright for any violation or noncompliance.
This permit shall expire no later than one (1) year after the date of issuance, and is subject to revocation for violation or noncompliance with the requirements of Section 8109-4.6 or any other applicable provision of the Ventura County Ordinance Code.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 51).
Full Breakdown
Every homeshare or short-term rental permit must carry a printed warning that it expires within a year and can be revoked for violating any part of the TRU ordinance or other county code provision. Separately, the code treats each day a violation continues as its own additional violation, so repeat or ongoing noncompliance compounds rapidly toward revocation. Applies only to unincorporated county properties.
Violations & Fines
Each day a violation continues is a separate, additional violation (Sec. 8109-4.6.11.2); permits are subject to outright revocation for violation or noncompliance under Sec. 8109-4.6.4.1.
