Challenging to Investors
Castroville Regulations
Commercial STRs are banned in Moss Landing’s residential areas, allowing only hosted homestays or a handful of non-hosted rentals per year, which limits investor-scale operations. The 4% cap in permitted zones, $965 license plus business license and TOT obligations, neighbor notifications, mandatory 24/7 manager, potential coastal permit, and ongoing enforcement add significant cost and complexity. These constraints make compliance demanding and reduce feasible investment pathways.

About Castroville
Castroville is an unincorporated town and census-designated place (CDP) in Monterey County, California, United States. At the time of the 2020 census the population was 7,515, up from 6,481 in 2010. Castroville is known for its artichoke crop and for the annual Castroville Artichoke Festival, leading to its nickname as the "Artichoke Center of the World". The community's origins lie in Rancho Bolsa Nueva y Moro Cojo, a Mexican-era rancho granted to the Castro family of Californio rancheros. Following the American Conquest of California, Juan Bautista Castro founded Castroville in 1863.
