Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approves overhaul of vacation rental regulations

The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved a series of sweeping changes to local regulations for vacation rental homes during a four-hour meeting Tuesday on the long-simmering issue.

In a 4-0 vote, the board adopted rules that will widen areas where rentals are prohibited, establish caps on rentals in other areas, amend policies governing rentals on the coast and allow pending permit applications to continue through the process.

The board also approved a new vacation rental license program that will standardize the requirements for all vacation rental permit holders outside cities.
