Short-term rentals (stays under 31 days) are PROHIBITED in all residential zones within the incorporated City of Temple City. The city's zoning code does not list transient lodging as a permitted use in residential areas, effectively banning Airbnbs. Properties in unincorporated areas with a Temple City address must follow Los Angeles County's STR ordinance, which requires registration and a $914 annual fee.
To host an Airbnb in Temple City, you must first determine if your property is within the city limits or in an unincorporated area of LA County. If you are within the City of Temple City, short-term rentals are strictly prohibited in residential neighborhoods; you can only rent your property for 31 days or longer. If you are in an unincorporated area, you must register with LA County, pay a $914 annual fee, and use the home as your primary residence. Hosting an unregistered short-term rental in the county can result in fines of $2,000 per day.
