Palm Springs Vacation Rental Permit - Monthly Report - October 2023
Palm Springs vacation rental permit density, the 20% cap, and waitlisted permit requests for October 2023.
Snapshot overview
The City snapshot dated October 19, 2023 reported on 52 recognized neighborhoods and 14 additional reporting areas. It listed 2,812 registered vacation rental permits and 103 waitlisted permit requests across 10 neighborhoods.
7 neighborhoods were at or above the 20% cap in the published density figures. A neighborhood below 20% can still have a permit waitlist, so the City’s published waitlist determines the status shown here.
What stood out
- Racquet Club Estates had the highest neighborhood density at 40.97%.
- Gene Autry had the largest published permit waitlist, with 30 requests.
- Compared with the immediately preceding loaded month, registered permits increased by 10, while waitlisted permit requests increased by 4.
- Ranch Club Estates illustrates why density below the cap does not mean there is no permit waitlist.
For property research: use these figures as a screening tool, then confirm current eligibility, waitlist status, and property-specific requirements with the City.
Availability is unavailable for this snapshot. The City did not report co-owned housing units separately, so we preserve that field as unknown and do not calculate permits available. Published density, registered permits, and reported waitlists remain visible.

Permit counts and density by neighborhood
Available estimates how many permits remain before the 20% cap using the City’s published totals. A City-published permit waitlist still takes precedence. The table also includes additional reporting areas, labeled separately.

MoM and YTD: changes in published density, shown in percentage points. MoM uses the immediately preceding month. YTD uses the prior December when it is loaded, otherwise the first earlier snapshot in the year. Changes can reflect revised residential-unit totals as well as permit activity. “—” means a required field or comparison snapshot is unavailable.
* Ranch Club Estates is below the published 20% density cap, but the City reports an active permit waitlist. The waitlist therefore controls the status.
How to read this
Estimated permits available, not an official determination
Available permits are estimated as floor(total residential units × 20%) − registered permits − co-owned units − pending applications. Negative results display as zero. When the City reports a permit waitlist despite positive calculated availability, the waitlist controls the status.
The number of permits estimated to be available can change between updates. Confirm eligibility directly with the City before making an investment or submitting an application.
