Challenging to Investors
Fremont explicitly allows short‑term rentals citywide with a no‑cost, straightforward permit and clear operational rules, but it limits STRs to the host’s primary residence, bans ADUs/JADUs, caps one STR per dwelling and one permit per host, and applies a 10% TOT with monthly remittance—restrictions that materially reduce scalability and raise compliance complexity for investors.
