The City of Seaside requires all owners of Short Term Rentals (rentals less than 30 days) to obtain a STR business license permit. The STR is treated as an accessory use, with the primary use being the applicant's personal residence, second home, or other primary residential use. Only one STR business license permit is allowed per owner or ownership, and not all homes in Seaside qualify.
