Generally Investor friendly
Menlo Park explicitly allows STRs and provides a straightforward online registration path with no apparent caps or zone bans, but imposes a high TOT (14%, rising to 15.5%), mandatory monthly filings, manual tax collection, and SB 9 restrictions—creating moderate permitting/fee burdens and compliance workload that are manageable but not negligible.
