Can you BnB it in Fillmore?
AllowedFillmore allows short-term vacation rentals only in single-unit homes in residential zones, and only the property owner may operate one, with a conditional use permit from the city required before listing or renting. Hosted rentals with the owner present are limited to two guests; non-hosted rentals allow two guests per bedroom plus two, and no guest may stay more than thirty consecutive days. Owners must post the permit, keep three years of rental records, and guests pay a ten percent lodging tax.
