Ventura Regulations

STRs are legally allowed but constrained by a temporary suspension of new permit applications in the city pending Coastal Commission certification, strict area-specific caps (e.g., 35 permits in Ventura Harbor), and high fees (e.g., $1,525 application fee plus deposits in the county). Complex regulations, including owner-presence requirements and ADU restrictions, add to the investor burden.
