Short-term & Vacation Rentals

Welcome back, everyone, to INSIDE Sonoma County Real Estate.  I am REALLY excited to share this next conversation with you, as Heidi enlightens us to the many moving parts to be taken into account when acquiring vacation and other short-term rental property, or perhaps even converting an existing property into a short-term rental.  She covers both the practical aspects of planning for such a purchase in any instance, as well as some very important Sonoma County-specific guidelines that have affected the local real estate market recently.  So … buckle in, enjoy the ride, and be prepared to take away some valuable nuggets.  If you’d like personal support from Heidi on your own real estate journey, then reach out to [email protected] or visit our website at https://www.insidesonomacountyrealestate.com.Here are the resources Heidi mentioned during this episode:Vacation and Short Term Rental Booking Sites:https://www.vrbo.com/https://www.airbnb.com/https://www.sonomacounty.com/vacation-rentalsCity & County Ordinance & Regulations:For County Information:https://permitsonoma.org/aboutus/codeforvacationrentalshttps://permitsonoma.org/regulationsandinitiatives/vacationrentals/vacationrentalpermitFor City-specific Information:Santa Rosahttps://www.srcity.org/3625/Short-Term-Vacation-RentalsHealdsburg https://www.ci.healdsburg.ca.us/274/Vacation-RentalsSonomahttps://www.sonomacity.org/vacation-rental-regulation/Petalumahttps://cityofpetaluma.org/documents/short-term-vacation-rental-permit-checklist/Sebastopolhttps://www.ci.sebastopol.ca.us/City-Government/Departments-Services/Planning/Housing-Resources-Vacation-RentalsPlease be sure to check your specific area which may not be listed above for additional information.Heidi Would is a licensed agent with the California Department of Real Estate, and her license number is 02072248.  Because Heidi serves as an agent for the brokerage of Corcoran Icon Properties, it's important that we include the following disclaimer: ©2023 Corcoran Group LLC.
