Sierra City Regulations
Allowed but constrained: a formal, multi-step permitting process with inspections, extensive documentation, required safety equipment, and non-transferable 3‑year permits; plus a 1‑year ownership waiting period for post‑2023 purchases and a single‑unit‑per‑parcel rule—compliance is high‑friction even though no hard caps are stated.
