Short Term Rental Code Compliance
Information about noise, trash and other rental headaches
STR / Short Term Rentals
We all love the beauty that Lake Tahoe has to offer, which is why so many visit each year.
Year-round resident population is 40,000. Total population can reach 300,000 on peak days. About 15 million people visit Lake Tahoe each year.
Eastern Placer county has historically held a high number of second homes. Thus, Placer county initially took a very lax approach to the Short Term Rental (STR)
business model when it first appeared here.
But things have changed.
Recently Placer county launched a Code Compliance unit, including mobile enforcement officers. Once you have an understanding of what is and isn't allowed, take advantage of the resources listed below when you encounter a problem renter or a problem rental house.
What are the rules?
- Quiet Hours begin at 9 PM. No sound from the STR shall be audible from the parcel
line of any short-term vacation rental unit during this time.
- Amplified sound, such as
speakers, shall not be used outside or be audible from the parcel line of
any short-term rental at any time.
-
No camping, which means
any overnight camping, sleeping in tents or on decks attached to the short-term
rental unit, or sleeping in travel trailers or recreational vehicles parked on the
short-term rental property.
- Keep trash in bear-proof bins until collection day; don’t leave any trash/recycling outside (decks, next to bear bins).
- Fireworks of all kinds are illegal.
- Pets must be secured or on a leash.
- Park only in designated spots. No off-street parking Nov 1 - May 1.
- Charcoal BBQ's, open wood burning pits, bonfires or campfires are strictly prohibited. Propane grills are permitted but not under flammable structures.
- No more than 2 adults per bedroom, plus two additional adults.
- Special events such as weddings are permitted only with a specially issued permit.
Weeks of 6/1-6/7, 7/6-7/12, 8/10-8/16, 9/14-9/20
