Can you BnB it in Angels Camp?
No STR ordinanceAngels Camp has no short term rental ordinance; the municipal code names vacation rentals only in the transient occupancy tax chapter, which charges 12 percent on stays under thirty days. An operator needs a city business license and a transient occupancy tax certificate of authority, and a buyer simply registers in their own name after checking that the seller's lodging tax is paid.

Transfer when the home sellsCode silent on transfer of any short term rental permit, because the city has no such permit. The transient occupancy tax certificate of authority is issued to the lodging provider under Section 3.12.050, so a buyer registers in their own name. Two tax rules touch a sale: Section 3.12.090(B) requires a lodging provider who sells or quits the business to file a final return and remittance within fifteen days, and Section 3.12.090(C) requires a successor to withhold enough of the purchase price to cover any amount due until the former owner produces a receipt showing full payment or a certificate from the finance officer stating that no amount is due. Escrow should obtain that certificate.L13.12.090(B) · code text · checked 2026-09-13
