Challenging to Investors

Imperial Beach Regulations

Imperial Beach allows STRs but restricts them to specific commercial/mixed-use zones only, excluding most residential areas. The 14% TOT rate is relatively high, monthly filing requirements add compliance burden, and the desktop-only application process creates operational barriers.
