Paso Robles does not appear in our dataset as having a city-level STR ordinance, but that does not mean the property is unregulated. California has no state preemption of short-term rentals, meaning cities have broad authority to ban STRs, cap permits, require licenses, and restrict rental frequency. There is no state lodging tax on STRs (0%), though local Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) will apply. Contact the City of Paso Robles directly to confirm any local permit, zoning, or TOT obligations before listing.
