Riverside County Supervisors Delay Short-Term Rental Ordinance Changes Amid Enforcement Concerns
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has voted to delay proposed amendments to the county’s short-term rental ordinance after hearing concerns from residents about ongoing enforcement issues.
Following a 90-minute public hearing that included testimony from more than a dozen community members, supervisors unanimously agreed to postpone changes to Ordinance 927. Many residents reported continued problems with loud parties, safety concerns, and repeat violations by a small number of rental operators.
Supervisors acknowledged challenges with after-hours code enforcement and law enforcement response, saying improved coordination between departments is needed before moving forward with amendments.
County leadership said the executive office will conduct a “deep dive” review with the Sheriff’s Department and the Transportation and Land Management Agency to identify the root causes of the enforcement challenges and develop recommendations to present to the board at a later date.
Meanwhile, a moratorium on new short-term rental certificates in Thousand Palms and the B Bar H Ranch area is set to expire February 28. Supervisors indicated they are likely to renew the moratorium when they meet again in early March.
County staff had also proposed stricter enforcement tools and increased fees for operators, but those changes are now on hold pending further review.
