Fontana, CA STR Regulations 2026 | HostReady

Fontana, CA

Short-Term Rental Regulations

Fontana does not appear in our database with a city-level STR ordinance, so you should contact the City of Fontana directly to confirm whether local rules, a business license, or transient occupancy tax requirements apply to your rental.
At the state level, California has no preemption statute, meaning cities have broad authority to regulate STRs, including banning them outright, capping permits, requiring licenses, and restricting how often you can rent.
California does not impose a state-level lodging tax on STRs (0%), but local Transient Occupancy Tax almost certainly applies and should be verified with the city.
Because California cities like Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and San Francisco have enacted aggressive restrictions such as primary residence requirements and night caps, do not assume Fontana is unregulated; confirm with local authorities before listing.

We watch Fontana's short-term rental rules and alert you the moment they change. Check your address free, then $8.25/month, billed annually to keep it monitored.
