Can you BnB it in Amador City?
RestrictedAmador City regulates short term rentals in Chapter 5.16 of its municipal code and requires a short term rental permit. The text of that chapter could not be opened on the code publisher's site, so the permit conditions, any caps, and what happens to the permit when the property is sold are not yet established.
