Active licenses for Short-Term Residential Occupancy

City Treasurer Updated Jul 29, 2026

About this dataset

Active licenses for Short-term Residential Occupancy in San Diego dwelling units.

City regulations require hosts obtain a license for short-term residential occupancy of a dwelling unit, or part thereof, within the City of San Diego. Four license tiers are available, depending on the type of dwelling unit, number of days, and location within the City of San Diego. A host may only hold one license and may not operate more than one dwelling unit for STRO at a time; licenses are not transferrable between ownership or location/dwelling unit.
