Background:

On 24 October 2023  the Tulare County Board of Supervisors heard an agenda item pertaining to short-term rentals in Three Rivers. The supervisors voted to direct Resource Management Agency staff to bring back to the Board of Supervisors a proposed ordinance and associated regulatory program on short-term rentals within the jurisdiction of Tulare County.

The resolution (2023-0994) differed from the proposal in two significant ways:

1. The proposed ordinance and associated regulatory program would be county-wide, rather than limited to Three Rivers.
2. There would be no temporary moratorium on additional short-term rentals during development of the proposed ordinance and associated regulatory program.
