Can you BnB it in Tiburon?

The rules, with their sources

Permit or licenseNone available: short-term rentals are prohibited, so there is no permit to apply for.L116-40.042 · code text · checked 2026-09-13
Transfer when the home sellsCode silent on transfer because Tiburon issues no vacation rental permit. Section 16-40.042 goes further: any permits previously issued for such uses, also known as seasonal rental units, were not renewable and became null and void on December 31, 2015, so no legacy permit can pass to a buyer. There is no family, heir, trust, or entity exception, and no grandfathering.L116-40.042 · code text · checked 2026-09-13
