Short-Term Rental (STR) Regulations
As of September 2021, Bakersfield, CA does not have specific regulations in place for short term rentals (STRs). However, it is important for investors to be aware of potential future regulations that may be implemented by the city or county government.
Investors should also consider the potential impact of any homeowner association (HOA) regulations that may restrict or prohibit short term rentals in certain neighborhoods or developments. It is important to thoroughly review any HOA documents before purchasing a property for use as a short term rental.
Additionally, investors should be aware of the transient occupancy tax (TOT) that may apply to short term rentals in Bakersfield. TOT is a tax imposed on guests who stay in accommodations for less than 30 days, and it is typically the responsibility of the property owner to collect and remit this tax to the city or county.
