Short-Term Vacation Rentals

Siskiyou County Planning Department Introduces Updated Short-Term Vacation Rental Application

Siskiyou County, California - The Siskiyou County Planning Department announces the release of an updated application process for Short-Term Vacation Rentals within the unincorporated areas of the county.

The purpose of this update is to regulate the use of vacation rentals in alignment with the county's objectives. The regulations aim to minimize adverse secondary effects on surrounding neighborhoods, prevent over-concentration of transient and commercial uses in residential areas, and impose reasonable limitations to preserve long-term housing availability. These measures are designed to ensure compliance with the general plan, local regulations, and other policies, while maintaining neighborhood compatibility with vacation rental usage.

The new application provides clear guidance on all necessary steps and requirements for prospective vacation rental operators. By streamlining the application process and outlining specific requirements, the Planning Department aims to facilitate responsible vacation rental management and promote community well-being.

The updated application is now available in Supporting Documents below. For further inquiries or assistance, applicants are encouraged to contact the Planning Department directly at 530-841-2100 or planning@co.siskiyou.ca.us.
