Yucca Valley Short Term Rental Application

[Nathan Furst-Nichols]

Hello Everyone,

First post here.  I'm about to close on a property in Yucca Valley, CA.  I've been looking over the Yucca Valley Short Term Rental permitting process and one thing stuck out to me.  The application states that you need a local contact person who is available to respond for noise complaints, house issues, etc... within 30 minutes, 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week.  I was wondering if anyone is in the same boat and how they handled that requirement.

Just be aware that the planning commission just voted 4-0 to a 45 day moratorium on any new STVR permits in the Town of Yucca Valley limits.  There is a possibility to extend it also. I actually was able to get Evan at the Town of Yucca Valley to do the property search for me with the correct addresses.  

If you call Laura Payne at the Accessor-Recorder-County (ARC) Clerk office 909-387-8307 she will let you know how much the Radius Search is and where to send the check. It covers all property owners within a 300 ft radius from the exterior of your property. You have to have insurance too that shows it is covered as a vacation rental. I would be careful about relying on a handyman to be your point of contact.  Most of them are flaky out here.  If you are out of the area, you might consider having someone local manage it.  I know a family run hosting business that does it.  They are great. The town is going to be increasing the fines to maybe $1,000. You DON'T want problems. Or, Meet your neighbors and give them your contact info so they can report any problems.
