Can you BnB it in San Gabriel?
No STR ordinanceSan Gabriel's municipal code does not mention short-term rentals, and the single-family zone permits only its listed uses, such as single-family dwellings of a permanent character. The code has finance and taxation chapters, but we have not read them yet, so whether the city levies a transient occupancy tax is not verified.
