Long-Term Rental – City of Imperial Beach Permits

Posted By jseaton on March 17, 2023

As some owners have learned, the permit process was placed on hold for many residents who are long term renting their units by the City of Imperial Beach. Management has been communicating with the City of Imperial Beach and has learned that the previous Imperial Beach Inspector provided incorrect information and has since been corrected.

In an effort to ensure that Homeowners and the Association are following the requirements set forth by the City of Imperial Beach, Management has included the information provided by the City of Imperial Beach referencing “How to Register” and possible fines that may be assessed to Owners by the City of Imperial Beach for all units not incompliance. Please see revised information below and attached.

Short-Term Rental units do not need to provide a secondary permit. Only one (1) permit is required for both Long-Term and Short-Term Rentals as updated and referenced below/attached.

If you currently are leasing out your unit long-term or plan to lease your unit out for thirty-one (31) days or longer; a Rental Business License (RBL) is required; (per the City of Imperial Beach)
To be renewed yearly.
Photocopy of RBL to be provided to Management.

If you currently are leasing out your unit short-term or plan to lease your unit out for any period less than thirty-days (30); a short-term rental (STR) permit is required.
