Placer County short-term rental updates

Vacation towns have been seeing an influx of second homeowners, and Lake Tahoe is no different. Placer County has said it is committed to preserving “the residential neighborhood character and addressing community concerns regarding nuisances caused by STR operations.”

The implementation of the new short-term rental policies will start April 1, said Community Development Director Crystal Jacobsen, of the Tahoe City office. Here’s how Sierra Sun breaks down the updates:

  • The ordinance contains new cap provisions to limit the quantity of short-term rental operations in East Placer — for the first time.
  • According to Jasmyn Carr, Placer County’s short-term rental administrative clerk, there are about 2,500 active permits.
  • The county has a 3,900 permit cap, Jacobsen said. The cap was suggested by county supervisors in January after they placed a moratorium on all new applications last July.
  • No applications can be accepted after 3,900 permits, except from primary residents.
  • According to the county website, short-term rentals are residential units rented for 30 days or less, and typically advertised as vacation rentals.
  • The county has a priority for processing permits. First is current short-term rental permits for renewal. Second is currently approved exempted properties. And third is properties previously renting without a permit or exemption, and new permits.
  • The permit application fee is $306. The fire fee, which covers a fire-life safety inspection, is $475.88 for professionally managed short-term rentals every three years, and the same amount annually for privately managed short-term rentals.
  • Applicants need to provide photo evidence of an installed bear box trash enclosure, a business license and a Transient Occupancy Tax certificate. Jacobsen said those using their primary residence as a short-term rental must show proof of primary homeowner exemption.
  • Jacobsen said the short-term rental Fire Life Safety and Defensible Space Inspection will be required for 2023 permits and renewals.

2021 Year End Lake Tahoe Real Estate Update

Last year at this time, we reported that 2020 was an historic year in Lake Tahoe real estate, showcasing dramatic and unprecedented activity as a result of the pandemic shifting buying behavior and accessibility. In 2020, our Year End Market Report highlighted a massive spike in sales volume alongside a noticeable increase in median price, with both reaching record highs in all microregions (with the exception of lakefronts, where sales volume fell one home below the record). This year, we are seeing median prices once again reaching historic highs in all micro-regions, although by a much larger increase, with the minimum being a 24% increase in median price year over year (on top of the previous record high, that is!). The difference is that in 2021, all micro-regions are showing a decrease in sales volume, by a minimum of 14% and as high as 37% year over year. The decrease in sales volume may be due to limited inventory available, however it also may be indicative of the market reaching our threshold in pricing. On Lake Tahoe’s North & West Shores, median price has been on a 10-year upwards trajectory and this year alone saw a 41% increase in median price. We look forward to 2022 to determine if these trends are sustainable, or if we will begin to see a plateau as the market attempts to correct itself.
