Licensing & Local Rules
We're Marina-side hosts who take compliance seriously. Rules vary by jurisdiction; here's how we handle them.
Jurisdictions
-
•
Marina del Rey = unincorporated L.A. County → STR registration + County TOT 12% on stays ≤30 nights. LA County Treasurer
-
•
Venice / City of L.A. → Home-Sharing (primary residence) with registration; hosts must register and display their Home-Sharing number on listings; standard cap 120 days/year unless extended; City TOT is 14% on stays ≤30 nights. Los Angeles City Planning
-
•
Santa Monica → un-hosted STRs not permitted; only licensed home-sharing (host on-site). Santa Monica
How we comply
We operate only where both local law and building/lease rules allow hosting. For applicable units we maintain required registrations, collect/remit TOT on direct bookings, post IDs in listings, and follow building/HOA rules (quiet hours, parking, minimum stays).
For City of LA addresses, TOT is administered by the Office of Finance; for unincorporated County, TTC administers STR/TOT.
Some properties sit on County marina ground leases; lease and HOA rules also apply.
Documentation & contacts
Is my address City or County? Use ZIMAS (City of LA) or LA County GIS (unincorporated areas) to confirm jurisdiction before you book or list.
