Anaheim vacation rental management

Nomad Property Management manages permitted vacation rentals in Anaheim, a short drive from Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center. We handle listings, pricing, guests, cleaning and upkeep, and handle each home's permit renewals and lodging tax filing under Anaheim's short-term rental program. We're also the officially named local contact the city calls for those homes. Because Anaheim no longer issues new permits, we focus on doing right by the homes that already hold one.

Short-term rental rules in Anaheim

Anaheim no longer allows new short-term rentals (checked October 29, 2026 on the city's official site):

• No new permits. The city says the opening of entirely new short-term rentals remains prohibited. Only rentals that were already permitted can keep operating, under the city's program rules.
• Permit and license. An operating rental needs a city short-term rental permit and a business license, and must follow the program's rules on occupancy, parking, noise and nuisance response.
• Local contact. The owner or manager must name a local contact who can respond to complaints within 45 minutes. For the homes we manage, Nomad is the officially named local contact for the city's program.
• Tax. Guests pay a 15% transient occupancy tax, which must be stated separately from rent and paid to the city monthly.

What this means for owners: in Anaheim the permit is the asset. If your home holds one, keeping it in good standing matters more than any single booking. If you're buying, a home without an existing permit can't be rented for short stays.

Seasons and demand

Anaheim demand follows the theme parks and the convention calendar more than the weather. Summer, school breaks, the holiday season and long weekends are the busiest stretches, and families often book larger homes so the whole group can stay together. Midweek nights outside school breaks are softer, which is where pricing and minimum-stay settings make the difference.

What Nomad does in Anaheim

We run the whole rental for you, so you can own a vacation home without a second job:

• Listing and pricing. We write and photograph the listing, publish it on the major booking sites, and adjust nightly rates to the season and local demand.
• Guests. We answer questions, screen bookings, send check-in details and handle problems during the stay.
• Cleaning and upkeep. We schedule cleaners after every stay and coordinate repairs and maintenance.
• Permits and lodging taxes. We handle short-term rental permits and lodging tax filing for you. We follow Anaheim's program rules closely, from occupancy limits to the 45-minute response requirement, so your permit stays in good standing.

We're owner-operators, not a call center. We take on a small number of homes in each market and treat each one like it's our own.
