Mendocino County supervisors debate permits, enforcement for short-term rentals

At a Mendocino County Board of Supervisors meeting last week, county staff and supervisors debated an ordinance that would put restrictions on short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO in the inland part of the county.

Short-term rentals in the coastal region of Mendocino County are managed by both the county and the California Coastal Commission and already have ordinances in place, but similar rentals inland are not currently regulated by the county.
