Palm Springs, CA

The Palm Springs Administrative Appeals Board is exploring updates to its short-term rental ordinance to improve awareness and compliance among real estate agents and property buyers. After identifying gaps in information dissemination, the board is considering new strategies, including making it mandatory for escrow/title companies to disclose rental restrictions and permit requirements at closing, requiring property managers to register with the city, and launching a public awareness campaign using ads and seminars.

These preliminary recommendations will be reviewed with Mayor Jeffrey Bernstein before submission to the city council, with additional discussions planned for the board’s next meeting on November 13.
