Mira Loma, California

Short-term rentals are not legally permitted anywhere in Mira Loma. In July 2023, the Jurupa Valley City Council adopted a zoning code amendment prohibiting short-term rentals and home-sharing businesses, defined as stays under 30 days, in every zone classification within city limits, which covers virtually all of Mira Loma. The ordinance states that STRs are not considered a permitted or conditionally permitted use in any zone, and that no permit of any type will be issued for one.

This means there is no registration, license, fee, or approval pathway available to legally operate a short-term rental inside Jurupa Valley, regardless of property type or location within the city. Rentals of 30 or more consecutive days fall outside the STR definition and are treated as standard longer-term rentals instead, which remain unrestricted by this ordinance.

A 10% transient occupancy tax figure sometimes appears in general guides to this area, but that tax applies specifically to Riverside County’s unincorporated areas, registered with the county Treasurer-Tax Collector. It is not relevant to properties inside Jurupa Valley city limits, where short-term rentals are banned outright rather than taxed. Only a small unincorporated remnant of the broader Mira Loma area, if any exists outside city boundaries, would fall under Riverside County’s own STR ordinance, Ordinance 927, instead.

Enforcement is rated strict and code based. The city’s stated position leaves no ambiguity: short-term rental investment in Mira Loma or the surrounding City of Jurupa Valley should be considered off-limits, and prospective buyers seeking short-term rental income should look to nearby jurisdictions that maintain an actual permitting framework.
