Lancaster does not appear in our data as having a city-level STR ordinance, so there is no specific local rule we can point you to here. California has no state preemption of STRs, meaning cities retain broad authority to ban STRs, cap permits, require licenses, and restrict rental frequency. There is no state-level STR lodging tax (0%), though local Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) will apply. Contact the City of Lancaster directly to confirm any current permit, tax, or operating requirements before listing your property.
We monitor Lancaster's short-term rental rules and alert you the moment they change, so your property stays compliant without the research.
