    Some Oxnard property owners have generated income for generations by renting out their properties for the short term. Complainants have reported that chronic nuisances occur on some properties. Others are not remitting taxes to government jurisdictions, including Oxnard.

    Numerous complaints have resulting in the city studying the situation, related issues, legal constraints and what other municipalities are doing about it. Their recommended approach consists of restricting rental units and much more strongly regulating them. This is about their third pass, so it should be getting close to a final version. See the link above for details on their thoughts. Attend the meeting if you are a stakeholder or just interested. You may speak there to weigh in with your thoughts.
