The City of Davis regulates short-term rentals through a mandatory registration program that distinguishes between host-occupied and non-host occupied units, requiring a permit and business license.
If you want to rent your home for stays shorter than 30 days in Davis, you must apply for a Short-Term Rental Permit and a City Business License. You can rent out a room while you are home or rent the whole house, but 'non-host occupied' permits are subject to a city-wide cap and stricter limits.
