Oceano Regulations
STRs are permitted countywide with a two‑step process (zoning clearance and business license) and moderate compliance costs; operational rules include occupancy/parking limits, 24/7 local manager, 200‑foot notifications and TOT/TMD. No caps are cited, and while a proposed moratorium hasn’t passed, it introduces some uncertainty, but overall burden remains manageable for investors.
