Hi fellow hosts,
I'm trying to setup my second home in the city of Sacramento as an AirBnB. The city requires a Conditional Use Permit for any non-owner-occupied rental that gets rented for over 90 days in a calendar year. Just wondering if anyone has had to deal with this process in the past?
The city got back to me and said the CUP is going to cost a whopping $6500/yr!! Absolutely outrageous and this would completely wipe out any hope of turning a profit beyond paying for the mortgage. Is this the price you have seen before? Do you know why they charge so much and what these fees are going towards to?
If you have a property like mine, I'd love to hear about your experiences and whether there's any loophole in the code so I can still operate legally and not have to be bogged down by this ridiculous law.
Best,
Dennis
