Can you BnB it in Monrovia?
No STR ordinanceMonrovia's zoning use tables do not list short-term rentals, vacation rentals, or home sharing; the closest uses are bed and breakfasts, which need a major conditional use permit, and hotels or motels in certain commercial zones. The city levies a transient occupancy tax under Chapter 3.44, but we have not read that chapter's text yet, so the rate is not verified.
