Generally Investor friendly
STRs are explicitly allowed under Lake County with a single annual Vacation Rental Permit, county inspection, 9% TOT paid quarterly, and standard operational rules (noise, parking, occupancy, safety) enforced through typical fines or permit actions. The pathway is clear, costs are moderate, and no meaningful caps or zone restrictions are indicated, making compliance straightforward but not as permissive as a pure A.

Middletown is a census-designated place (CDP) in Lake County, California, United States. Its population was 725 at the 2020 census down from 1,323 at the 2010 census, which was up slightly from 1,020 at the 2000 census. Middletown was given its name because it is halfway between Lower Lake and Calistoga, which is 17 miles (27 km) to the south. The town was severely damaged by the 2015 Valley Fire.
