Palm Springs Vacation Rental Permit - Monthly Report - December 2023

Palm Springs vacation rental permit density, the 20% cap, and waitlisted permit requests for December 2023.

Data as of December 21, 2023 Published August 19, 2026
42 of 52 Neighborhoods without a permit waitlist
10 Neighborhoods with a permit waitlist
2,813 Registered permits
116 Waitlisted permit requests

Snapshot overview

The City snapshot dated December 21, 2023 reported on 52 recognized neighborhoods and 14 additional reporting areas. It listed 2,813 registered vacation rental permits and 116 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 40.60%.
  • Gene Autry had the largest published permit waitlist, with 32 requests.
  • Compared with the immediately preceding loaded month, registered permits decreased by 10, while waitlisted permit requests increased by 5.

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.

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.
