Nov. LB Announces Start of Registration for Citywide Short-Term Rentals Program

LONG BEACH — The registration process has now begun for property owners who may be interested in legally operating their residence as a hosted short-term rental or STR in Long Beach.

The STRs Program provides guidelines designed to maintain the city’s long-term housing stock. Registration information and materials are available on the Development Services Department STRs Program webpage

Falling in line with the STRs Ordinance, the city will be maintaining a list of residential apartment building property owners and homeowners’ associations or HOAs in Long Beach who want to prohibit anyone from obtaining an STR registration on their property. Landlords and HOAs interested in being included on the list must complete and notarize a self-certification form, which is available on the STRs webpage.

Following the growth of rental platforms such as Airbnb and HomeAway in recent years, the city council took action to adopt an ordinance to permit the rent or lease of privately-owned residential units on a short-term basis.

Details: For assistance with completing an application, property owners or operators may call 562-570-6820; shorttermrentals@longbeach.gov.
