Short-term rentals (STRs), locally referred to as Short-Term Residential Occupancies (STROs), are legal in the City of San Diego but come with specific regulations managed by the San Diego Municipal Code. Property owners must apply for a STRO license to legally rent their residences for periods of less than 30 days. The market primarily caters to tourists, especially in urban settings like downtown San Diego and coastal areas, where vacation homes and apartments thrive. There have been recent regulations limiting the number of available licenses to cap the situation at 6,592 for entire home rentals, reflecting the city's strategy to control housing availability. This environment is influenced by both tourism, with increased demand during peak seasons, and business travelers seeking short-term accommodations. The City Treasurer's Office oversees these regulations and their enforcement.
