Cross-referenced against 3 official sources — municipal codes, planning-department pages, and government registries.
Unincorporated Los Angeles County adopted a comprehensive Short-Term Rental ordinance in March 2024, restricting STRs to primary residences only. Hosts are limited to 90 unhosted nights per year, and the use of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) or rent-stabilized units for STRs is strictly prohibited.
If you're renting out your primary home in unincorporated LA County for less than 30 days at a time, you need to register with the county. You can only rent it unhosted (without you staying there) for a maximum of 90 nights a year. Note that these rules do not apply to properties in coastal zones.
