The city of Huntington Beach voted on Sept. 21 to allow homes on short-term housing platforms, like Airbnb, to operate without the necessary permits until the end of the year.
Short-term rentals (STRs), a residential housing unit that is rented for 30 days or less, were originally banned in Huntington Beach. In December 2020, the council passed Ordinance 4224—effective Feb. 19—which allowed STRs under specific restrictions.
