Can you BnB it in Fremont?
No STR ordinanceFremont has no short-term rental ordinance in its municipal code: the zoning title, its definitions chapter, and the revenue title contain no short-term rental, vacation rental, or home sharing provisions. Operators of transient lodging would still fall under the city's general tax and zoning rules, and buyers should confirm nothing new has been adopted before relying on this.
