Regulated by San Luis Obispo County (unincorporated). Templeton is unincorporated, which is the single most useful thing an owner here can know: it is permitted by the County under an Inland Vacation Rental Clearance, not by the City of Paso Robles — so the Paso non-hosted permit cap does not apply to it. You need the clearance, a business licence and a Transient Occupancy Tax certificate. A vacation rental cannot be an accessory dwelling unit, guesthouse or agricultural worker housing, and Williamson Act parcels need their own clearance.
9% county Transient Occupancy Tax plus 1.5% Tourism Marketing District, and a further 2% Tourism Business Improvement District in some areas.
New permits are available in Templeton, so you can start from scratch here — but if you already hold one, switching is the faster route. Your permit stays in your name either way. How switching works.
Wine country next door to Paso Robles but outside the city cap — on paper the most under-served open market in the county, and the one we would most like to be asked about.
