Inglewood Registration Rules Rules (2026): What You Need to Know

The City of Inglewood requires all short-term rental hosts to register and obtain a valid permit before listing their property. The permit is valid for one year and must be renewed by filing a completed renewal application. The City inspects both the interior and exterior of the property, including improvements, to determine maximum occupancy, parking capacity, and compliance with all applicable code provisions.

All STR hosts must collect and remit Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) for any guest stay of 30 days or fewer. The City explicitly states that ignorance of TOT requirements does not relieve the host of the obligation to collect and remit the tax. The registration number issued by the City must be prominently displayed on all advertising platforms.

Hosts must designate a Local Contact Person who is at least 25 years old and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during rental periods, capable of responding to complaints within 60 minutes. Hosts must also ensure compliance with trash pickup schedules and provide guests with rules regarding trash removal, fire safety, and evacuation procedures.
