Challenging to Investors
Indio Regulations
STRs are allowed only for a host’s primary residence, effectively prohibiting non-primary investment properties and limiting portfolios to owner-occupied units; monthly TOT/TBID reporting, a $100 fee, non-transferable permits, and a 24‑hour response requirement add administrative burden and compliance risk.
