San Diego STRO License Inventory — July 2025
A recovered inventory of 8,180 licenses after excluding one explicitly labeled City test record.
The July observation
This report counts 8,180 licenses. The original file contains 8,181 rows, including one explicitly labeled test record outside the four licensing tiers. That exact row is excluded from reporting; the original file is preserved. Other unexpected tier values remain validation errors.
The original CSV’s publisher modification timestamp establishes the date as July 10, 2025, in UTC. This report was prepared retrospectively in October 2026. Expired-looking licenses and unknown planning areas remain in the count.
The recovered January inventory contains 1,014 more licenses than this July observation. The gap between those dates prevents a monthly trend or an explanation of when the inventory changed. Disappearance from the file does not establish revocation or the end of rental activity.

The inventory is dated July 10, 2025 and was retrieved on October 24, 2026. This is a point-in-time observation, not a month-end total.
Baseline snapshot. No comparable immediately preceding monthly observation is loaded, so no month-over-month change is reported.

Shares are rounded independently and are not applicable to an empty inventory. Descriptions are retained with this dated observation. A declared tier with no records has a known count of zero.
Separate publisher observation
Published availability by tier
Availability is unavailable for this report: no separate capacity observation was selected.
Zero means no remaining licenses in that dated availability observation. Unlimited and unavailable are distinct states. These figures do not establish availability within a community planning area.

Licenses by community planning area
Community planning areas are the City’s reporting geography; they are not interchangeable with neighborhoods. These figures describe inventory, not area-level caps or permit availability. Counts are sorted from largest to smallest; horizontal scrolling reveals every tier on smaller screens.

Unknown / unassigned preserves licenses without a usable area. Area labels follow the publisher’s inventory; they are not an independently verified geographic directory. Zero in a tier column means no records in that cell of the complete inventory; it does not describe availability.
How to read this
Published inventory, with clear limits
Population counted: All licenses listed in the City’s active STRO inventory, including records with earlier expiration dates. One explicitly labeled test record is excluded from this observation.
Counts measure the stated inventory, not bookings, occupancy, revenue, or actual rental activity. Missing geographic assignments remain included in totals.
11 expired-looking records are retained in this observation. These records have an expiration date earlier than the observation date. That date alone does not resolve renewal or administrative status.
Availability is an independent publisher observation. These counts establish neither an area cap nor availability for an individual property.
