Mammoth Lakes rules & taxes

Are vacation rentals allowed in Mammoth Lakes?

To operate a short-term rental in Mammoth Lakes, CA, you must obtain a Short-Term Rental (STR) Permit from the Town of Mammoth Lakes and comply with local regulations, including occupancy limits, noise restrictions, and parking rules. Safety standards like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers are required, along with adherence to zoning codes and limits on the number of rentals allowed. Hosts must register with the town, provide guests with clear house rules and safety information, and ensure compliance throughout each stay to avoid violations.

Do I need to collect and remit taxes for vacation rentals in Mammoth Lakes?

Before collecting any short-term rental taxes from your guests, you need to be aware of whether any taxes have already been collected for you. Short-term rental marketplaces are required to register with the California Department of Revenue and collect CA short-term rental taxes for hosts when the listing is booked. If taxes aren’t being collected for you, such as when guests book directly with you rather than through a marketplace, you’re responsible for collecting and remitting taxes. The sales tax rate charged is based on the location where the lodging is furnished. A basic room tax, an additional room tax and a municipal room tax may also apply, depending on the location of your short term rental property.
