STRs are permitted but require a Santa Barbara County STR permit, TOT registration, a business license, and compliance with zoning, safety/fire codes—moderate complexity but predictable process. New Cuyama lacks its own local ordinance and operates under county rules with standard site conditions; no explicit strict caps or high-cost barriers are noted in the summary, keeping risk manageable.

New Cuyama (Chumash: Kuyam, meaning "Clam") is a census-designated place in the Cuyama Valley, Santa Barbara County, California. It was named after the Chumash word for "clams", most likely due to the millions of petrified prehistoric clamshell fossils that are found in the surrounding areas. The town is home to the majority of the utility infrastructure for its residents, including nearby neighbor Cuyama, California. New Cuyama is located very close to the intersection points for Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Ventura and Kern counties. The town is served by Highway 166 (connecting U.S. Route 101 and Interstate 5) and the public-use New Cuyama Airport. The population was 542 at the 2020 census.
