Short-term rentals (under 30 days) are PROHIBITED in the City of Artesia. The city's zoning code does not list transient habitation or short-term rentals as a permitted use in any residential zone, and the city enforces a strict 30-day minimum for rentals.
To host an Airbnb in Artesia, you must only accept bookings for 30 consecutive days or longer. The city does not allow short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods. If your property is actually in an 'unincorporated' area with an Artesia mailing address, you must follow Los Angeles County rules, which allow STRs but require a $914 annual permit and primary residency. Within the city limits, you are still required to pay a 6% Transient Occupancy Tax for any stays that do occur, though the city does not legally authorize the use.
