Palm Springs Vacation Rental Permit - Yearly Report 2025

Annual analysis of Palm Springs registered vacation rental permits, neighborhood density, estimated permits available, and waitlisted permit requests for 2025.

Comparable period Dec 12, 2024–Dec 18, 2025 Published August 19, 2026

2,651 Registered permits in the closing snapshot

-105 Change since December 2024

106 Waitlisted permit requests in the closing snapshot

8 Neighborhoods with a permit waitlist

The year in one view

From December 2024 to December 2025, registered vacation rental permits decreased from 2,756 to 2,651, a decline of 105. Waitlisted permit requests decreased from 118 to 106, and the number of neighborhoods with a permit waitlist fell from 10 to 8.

Racquet Club Estates recorded the largest density decline among neighborhoods, down 4.84 percentage points, but its waitlisted permit request count increased by 13, to 34. Registered permit totals and waitlisted permit request totals can move differently, so neither figure should be used alone.

A year-end comparison

This is a two-point comparison rather than a monthly trend. The chart shows only the two preserved December snapshots. The table compares them neighborhood by neighborhood, with additional reporting areas labeled separately.

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.

The interactive annual chart could not be loaded. The opening and closing values are available in the comparison table below.

Only the December 2025 neighborhood-density snapshot is loaded for 2025. This report therefore compares December 2024 with December 2025 and does not infer conditions during the intervening months.

Annual methodology

A comparison of preserved City snapshots

This annual report compares the prior and current year-end 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.
