Capitola Regulations
STRs are explicitly permitted within a defined VRU overlay, but prohibited citywide outside that zone, and no caps or quotas are mentioned. The permitting process is straightforward (simultaneous applications, ~30‑day processing) with moderate fees and ongoing compliance (annual business license, monthly TOT) and an active but predictable enforcement posture. This results in a clear, investor‑friendly framework despite the geographic limitation.
