Murphys Regulations
Short‑term rentals are explicitly permitted under the county’s draft STVR, requiring a county permit, TOT registration, on‑call manager, and operating standards (occupancy/parking limits, quiet hours), but there is no meaningful cap on STRs. Costs and permitting details are unclear, and enforcement carries stiff penalties with ambiguous after‑hours processes, creating moderate compliance burden and compliance risk.

About Murphys
Murphys, originally Murphys New Diggings then Murphy's Camp, is an unincorporated village located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Calaveras County, California, United States. The population was 2,213 at the 2010 census, up from 2,061 at the 2000 census. A former gold mining settlement, the main street today is lined with over two dozen wine tasting rooms and surrounded by local vineyards. Nearby attractions include Calaveras Big Trees State Park, Bear Valley Ski Resort and historic Mercer Caverns. The world's largest crystalline gold leaf is displayed just south of town at Ironstone Vineyards. The town also hosts an annual Irish Days parade and street fair every March on Main Street, with some years seeing over 35,000 people in attendance.
