Coachella STR Rules & Regulations

• Short-Term Rental Permit Requirement: Operating an STR in Coachella requires obtaining a Short-Term Rental Permit.

• Purchasing an Existing Licensed STR: Investors have the opportunity to purchase a currently licensed (turnkey) STR, if one is available for sale.

• Application for New STR Permit: Within fourteen (14) days of a change in property ownership, the new owner must submit an application for a new STR permit. The permit must be obtained prior to continuing to rent the unit as an STR.

• Non-Transferrable STR Permits: It's important to note that STR Permits in Coachella are not transferrable.

• Issuance of New STR Permits: The city continues to issue new STR permits for recently purchased properties, ensuring opportunities for interested individuals.

• Application Process and New STR Owners: All new STR owners must apply for an STR permit as new applicants. However, it's crucial to understand that the Short-Term Rental cannot be advertised or host guests until the owner receives the hard copy of the new STR permit.

• Swift STR Application Process: The STR application process typically takes approximately 2 days to complete, providing a quick turnaround for permit issuance.

• Transient Occupancy Tax: Short-Term Rental owners are required to pay a Transient Occupancy Tax to the city.

• Complaint Response and Availability: To ensure a high standard of service, the Short-Term Rental owner or their designated agent must be available 24/7 to respond to all complaints within 45 minutes.

• Maximum Occupancy Guidelines: The maximum number of occupants in an STR is determined by two people per bedroom, with an additional 2 people per unit. For example, a 3-bedroom STR can accommodate a maximum of 8 occupants [(3 Bedrooms x 2 People) + 2 People per unit].

• Increased Occupancy Requests: In the event that an applicant requests increased overnight occupancy beyond the standard guidelines, the permit administrator may request an interior and/or exterior site visit. The owner must be present during any site visit, and the permit administrator's determination on the application for increased occupancy shall be final.
