Sonora, CA The Sonora City Council will vote on hitting the pause button on allowing additional properties to be used as short-term rentals.
It is due to a rise of local homes being offered for rent on websites like AirBNB. The city requires homeowners to acquire a “Transient Use Permit” in order to rent out a property for a short period. 46 short-term rentals have been listed in the city over the past 12 months. Over the last two weeks, six additional applications were submitted to city hall. At the same time, the city has a dire lack of long-term rental properties, with multiple listings having 1-2 year wait periods.
