Generally Investor friendly
Paso Robles allows STRs citywide and offers a straightforward permit pathway with moderate, flat fees ($300–$550) and clear rules; homeshares are unlimited and the city’s tone is supportive. However, non‑hosted permits are at capacity with a waiting list, capped at 75 in R‑1 zones, and neighbors must be notified within 100 ft with a 30‑minute response hotline—creating enough friction to keep the market friendly but not fully open.
