California lawmakers are considering a new bill that would tax short-term rentals to fund affordable housing.

Senate Bill 584, proposed by Senator Monique Limon from Santa Barbara as a way to address the state's housing crisis.

“Our vacation rental market is something that has increased quite significantly in the last decade, and to the point that it has now a vested role in a lot of our communities, particularly in areas that are tourist attractions in the state,” said Limon.

Limon says SB 584 is part of a broader conversation about funding sources for affordable and workforce housing.

“Trying to identify what kinds of investments in the form of an assessment to vacation rentals should come out and to also keep dealing with some of our hardest issues in the state," she continued.

The bill would impose a 15% statewide tax on people staying at short-term rentals, that’s in addition to existing Transient Occupancy Taxes.

They should flash those guys teaching people how to retire early, cash flowing, and expensive cars while waving money around. And then them complaining they don't make enough.

Housing development is curtailed by all the crazy regulations. It’s too expensive to build in California.

WE NEED TO TAX LAWMAKERS 50% IF INFLATION IS OVER 1 % AND 75 % IF OVER 5 % !
OR IF ALL TAXES EXCEED 50 % OF INCOME !
This means their staff and support personnel also !

Do any of you realize short term rental would have to pay a total of 25% extra tax in addition to income tax. It’s absolutely insane.

Short term rentals take away possible affordable housing from the locals. Affordable beach apartments for rent are a thing of the past.
