Short-Term Rental Regulations
Lathrop, California has a blanket citywide prohibition on residential short-term rentals, codified under Chapter 5.10 of the Lathrop Municipal Code (‘SHORT-TERM RENTAL PROHIBITION’). The ordinance was adopted after a public council hearing on March 11, 2024. There is no permit, license, or exemption pathway. Operating any residential STR within Lathrop city limits is illegal regardless of zoning district.
Violations are declared public nuisances and may be summarily abated by the city under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 731 or other available remedies. The city’s stated rationale is preserving the long-term residential character of neighborhoods and maintaining adequate housing stock.
Lathrop does have a 9% Transient Occupancy Tax that predates the ban and applies to hotels and motels, but this has no pathway for residential STR compliance. Enforcement severity is rated strict. Investors and operators considering this area must evaluate jurisdictions outside Lathrop city limits.
Market Comparison
The Lathrop area’s April 2026 occupancy of 59.1% is above the U.S. STR median of approximately 55%, though ADR of $141 is well below the national median of around $220. This positions the broader area as a low-rate, moderate-occupancy inland market, consistent with Central Valley pricing dynamics.
The composite market score of 57.44 is below average, reflecting the below-average ADR growth and the regulatory prohibition within the city itself. The revenue growth sub-score of 48.76 is the weakest among the five markets analyzed, and annual revenue per listing has declined from the 2021 peak of $2,293 to $2,330 in 2025, with 2026 year-to-date averaging $2,137.
Among the top operators tracked in the broader area, Evolve leads with 177 listings and 4,215 reviews at a 4.55 average rating. Stay Smart holds second at 85 listings (4.36 rating). Guest Equity Inc. manages 47 listings (4.71 rating), Fresno Short Term Rentals operates 43 listings (4.86 rating), and LUSH Garden Hideaway rounds out the top five at 42 listings (4.95 rating).
