How does the Transient Occupancy Tax work for LA STRs?

A 14% TOT applies to bookings under 30 days, collected and remitted by platforms. Hosts register for business tax based on receipts. This simplifies compliance for investors.

Are there rental night limits for short-term rentals in LA?

Entire-home rentals in residential zones (R1-R5) are capped at 120 nights per year if host absent. Commercial zones offer more flexibility. Check zoning maps for specifics.

What insurance is needed for short-term rentals in Los Angeles?

Specialized STR insurance with at least $500,000 liability is required, as standard policies exclude rentals. Many opt for $1M coverage. Verify compliance before operating.
