Alamo Regulations
Alamo allows STRs with a county permit, but imposes strict caps (non-hosted ≤90 days/year; hosted ≤180; absolute cap 180), bans ADUs and signage, limits occupancy and parking, requires neighbor notices, and has a separate discretionary process for deviations—creating a controlled environment that constrains revenue potential despite a relatively clear ministerial permitting path.

About Alamo
Alamo (Spanish: Álamo; meaning "Poplar tree") is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Contra Costa County, California, in the United States. It is a suburb located in the San Francisco Bay Area's East Bay region, approximately 28 miles (45 km) east of San Francisco. Alamo is equidistant from the city of Walnut Creek and the incorporated town of Danville. As of the 2020 census, the population was 15,314. Police services are provided by the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff. Fire and EMS services are provided by the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District. Alamo has a median household income of $250,000 (as of 2022). The average home price in Alamo is $2,400,000 (as of January 2024). In August 2007, a group of citizens launched a new initiative to incorporate the community, the latest in a series of attempts that go back to the early 1960s or before; it was defeated by referendum in March 2009. Previous failed Alamo incorporation efforts always included parts of other nearby unincorporated areas: Alamo-Danville (1964) and Alamo-Danville-San Ramon (1976).
