Generally Investor friendly
Merced County explicitly permits short‑term rentals in multiple zoning districts and uses a straightforward administrative permit, with clear, reasonable operational rules (quiet hours, off‑street parking, 10% TOT quarterly). However, the five‑bedroom cap, 30‑day compliance window, and periodic inspections create moderate constraints that keep it from being very friendly.
