Palm Springs Vacation Rental Permit - Yearly Report 2023
Annual analysis of Palm Springs registered vacation rental permits, neighborhood density, and waitlisted permit requests for 2023.
The year in one view
From the February baseline to the December snapshot, registered vacation rental permits increased from 2,684 to 2,813, a gain of 129. Waitlisted permit requests rose from 42 to 116, an increase of 74.
Growth in the permit waitlist was concentrated. Movie Colony East added 19 requests, Gene Autry added 16, and Racquet Club Estates added 9 over the comparable period. Density did not always move with the waitlist: Movie Colony East’s published density fell 1.48 percentage points while its waitlist grew.
How to read the comparison
The annual chart follows the 11 comparable snapshots from February through December. The neighborhood comparison table shows the change in published density from February to December, measured in percentage points; additional reporting areas are labeled separately. January remains outside the comparable series because the City’s February reporting revision would blur a simple month-to-month interpretation.
Some availability figures are unavailable. A snapshot that omits co-owned housing units cannot support the availability calculation. Its published density, registered permits, and reported waitlists remain visible; missing fields are not treated as zero.
Year at a glance
Registered permits and waitlisted permit requests through 2023
Only available City snapshots are shown, equally spaced. Lines connect consecutive months only; missing months are omitted, not estimated.
The interactive annual chart could not be loaded. The opening and closing values are available in the comparison table below.
January is excluded from the comparable annual series because the February release introduced an additional reporting area and materially revised several residential-unit totals. The chart begins with February and does not interpolate January.

Annual methodology
A comparison of preserved City snapshots
The annual report compares published monthly snapshots rather than reconstructing missing values. Density changes are shown in percentage points. Available is estimated as floor(total residential units × 20%) − registered permits − co-owned units − pending applications.
Changes in the City’s neighborhood definitions, unit totals, or reporting method can affect comparisons. Any known break is called out beside the chart and should be considered before drawing conclusions.
