San Diego STRO Laws

Frequently Asked Questions

We navigate the red tape of America's Finest City so you don't have to.

Absolutely. San Diego's Short-Term Residential Occupancy (STRO) regulations are incredibly strict, utilizing a complex tiered system (Tiers 1-4) with lottery caps for whole-home rentals. We communicate directly with the local STRO.gov team on your behalf. We guide you through the application, ensure your property meets all zoning requirements, and help you maintain your active STRO license without the headache of dealing with city hall.

Yes. The City of San Diego requires short-term rental operators to collect and remit a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) for any platforms other than Airbnb. We handle the complete calculation, collection, and monthly remittance to the City of San Diego Treasurer, ensuring you are 100% compliant and your taxes are perfectly reconciled.

The City of San Diego strictly mandates that a compliant "Notice of STRO" placard and Human Trafficking Placard must be visibly displayed on the exterior of your property at all times. It must legally include your STRO license number and our 24/7 local contact information. You don't have to worry about this — we design, print, and physically install these legal placards on your property to ensure you pass any random city code enforcement checks.

San Diego strictly enforces community nuisance laws and requires STRO operators to have a designated local contact who can respond to complaints within 1 hour. We act as that 24/7 local contact. We utilize privacy-safe noise monitoring technology and strict guest screening to prevent issues before they happen. If a neighbor ever does call, we dispatch our local team immediately to de-escalate the situation, protecting your community standing and your license.
