Challenging to Investors
Seal Beach Regulations
STRs are explicitly allowed but only within a narrow Coastal Zone and capped at ~1% of housing units (~47 permits), creating a lottery-based scarcity that sharply limits supply and drives investor risk; permitting is moderately costly ($600/$400) with additional business license, insurance and reporting requirements and active enforcement through platform collaboration.
