Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Mt Laguna, CA

Airbnb listings are allowed in Mt Laguna, CA, but with restrictions. Short-term rentals (less than 30 days) in unincorporated San Diego County must register for Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and collect/remit an 8% tax. Operators must also comply with County land-use and zoning regulations; the TOT certificate itself does not grant a permit to operate or bypass other required County licenses. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
