Can you BnB it in Roseville?
AllowedRoseville allows short-term rentals only at the permittee's own primary residence, under an annual permit, with a six guest limit and no more than 182 rental days per year. The code says nothing about transferring a permit, and because the permit is issued to the owner who must live there, a buyer must obtain a new permit.

Caps and limits4.25.080 requires every eligible short-term rental to be on a parcel developed with the permittee's primary residence and bars renting it more than 182 days per year. This 182 day figure is a per property annual rental day limit, not a citywide permit cap and not an unhosted-only cap, because every permitted short-term rental must be at the permittee's primary residence. 4.25.020 allows only one short-term rental permit per single-family dwelling unit on the same parcel. Occupancy is capped at six people at any time (4.25.080). Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units may not be rented short-term (4.25.080). No citywide numeric cap on the number of permits was found.L1Roseville Municipal Code Ch. 4.25 Short-Term Rentals (Ord. 6029 Sec. 1, 2018; Ord. 6245 Secs. 1 to 4, 2020) · code text · checked 2026-09-13
Transfer when the home sellsCode silent on transfer. Chapter 4.25 contains no transfer section and no 'runs with the land' language. What it does say is that the permit is issued to a permittee, defined in 4.25.040 as the property owner receiving the permit, that the permit expires 12 months from issuance unless revoked or suspended earlier (4.25.030), that it authorizes the permittee to conduct only such services as are described in the permit (4.25.030), and that the short-term rental must be on a parcel developed with the permittee's primary residence, in which the permittee resides at least 183 days during the calendar year (4.25.040, 4.25.080). A buyer therefore cannot rely on the seller's permit and must apply in their own name and satisfy the primary residence test. No family, heir, trust or entity exception exists because no transfer mechanism exists.L14.25.030 · code text · checked 2026-09-13
