HOW YOU CAN HELP
We couldn’t have gotten this far without your donations but we have a long and expensive road ahead to get to a fair compromise. Please continue to support our cause so we can fight on your behalf!
Your donation – any amount – is critical in ensuring you can continue to operate your vacation rental.
OUR MISSION
Since 2009, we, fellow Dana Point residents, have been helping the city enact laws that allow you to use your property responsibly without burdening your neighbors. We helped shape the current ordinance, which:
- Limits the number of short-term rentals (STRs) for less than 30 days.
- Imposes heavy fines for noise and other disturbances.
- Generates substantial revenue through the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on rentals under 30 days.
The TOT collected by short-term rentals in Dana Point is nearly $1M per year! This revenue helps maintain peaceful neighborhoods and avoids the party atmosphere many fear from STRs. The opposing side proposes to scrap this law, effectively removing STRs from Dana Point and eliminating the associated TOT revenue. Without this money, we can’t prevent illegal STRs or enforce the no-party rule that has kept our community safe.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The proposed ballot measure threatens to limit STRs, impacting property owners, local businesses, and visitors who cherish the unique accommodations Dana Point offers. Key points of the measure include:
- Reduction of STRs by 50%: This drastic cut would severely limit STR availability and city revenue.
- Annual Lottery System: Permits would be distributed through an annual lottery in May, eliminating summer rentals.
- Dana Point Residency Requirement: Only Dana Point residents would be allowed to own STRs, excluding non-resident property owners.
