Can you BnB it in unincorporated Del Norte County?
No STR ordinanceDel Norte County has no short-term rental permit program for its unincorporated area, so renting a house for less than thirty days is not separately licensed by the county. Operators must register with the Tax Collector and pay the ten percent transient occupancy tax, and accessory dwelling units may not be rented short term.

Transfer when the home sellsCode silent on transfer. No county short-term rental permit or license was found, so there is nothing to transfer on sale; a buyer would register for the transient occupancy tax certificate with the Tax Collector in their own name. This is an inference from the absence of a permit program, not a quoted rule.L2Del Norte County Code Chapter 3.08, Transient Occupancy Tax; no short-term rental chapter identified · code text · checked 2026-09-13
