Generally Investor friendly
Short‑term rentals are permitted citywide in Susanville without city‑specific caps, zoning limits for single‑family STRs, or separate STR permits; investors just need an annual business license plus California state registration and TOT compliance. The model is straightforward and relatively low‑cost, though TOT collection authority must be confirmed and commercial lodging conversions require use permits, adding minor administrative steps.
