Cal. Civ. Code § 36-1-24-11
Permits; application requirements
Operative Text
Sec. 11. (a) A unit may require an owner to obtain a permit for each property by adopting an ordinance that sets forth only the requirements of this chapter for obtaining a permit. A unit may require only one (1) permit for each single family home, two-family or multifamily dwelling, condominium, cooperative, or time share that an owner rents in whole or in part under this chapter. A permit covers all: (1) dwelling units; and (2) detached accessory structures; located on the permitted property that the owner offers to the public as a short term rental. (b) An owner must submit a permit application for each property for which a permit is sought. The permit application may require the owner to provide only the following information for each property: (1) The owner's name, street address, mailing address, electronic mail address (if applicable), and telephone number. If the owner is a corporation or partnership, the application must require the: (A) owner's state of incorporation or organization; and (B) names, residence addresses, and telephone numbers of the owner's principal officers or partners. (2) If a property manager is used, the property manager's name, street address, mailing address, electronic mail address (if applicable), and telephone number. (3) A short description of how each of the owner's short term rentals on the property are marketed or advertised, including the following: (A) The advertised occupancy limits of each short term rental. (B) Whether the short term rental is: (i) a single family home; (ii) a dwelling unit in a single family home; (iii) a dwelling unit in a two-family or multifamily dwelling; or (iv) a dwelling unit in a condominium, cooperative, or time share. (c) A permit application must be made by an owner. If the owner is a corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, the permit application must be made by an officer or agent of the owner. (d) Subject to section 16 of this chapter, if an owner submits a permit application under this section that meets the requirements set forth in the ordinance adopted by the unit, the unit shall issue a permit to the owner within thirty (30) days of receipt of the application.
Indiana Code § 36-1-24-11 establishes the framework under which local government units may require short-term rental property owners to obtain permits. A single permit covers all dwelling units and detached accessory structures on a given property that are offered as short-term rentals, and only one permit per property may be required. The information a local unit may collect on the application is limited to owner and property manager contact details, entity information if applicable, and a brief description of how rentals are marketed, including occupancy limits and dwelling type. If a completed application meets the local ordinance's requirements, the unit must issue the permit within 30 days of receipt.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 36-1-24-11, operators of short-term rentals in Indiana should be aware that their local government unit may have adopted a permit ordinance, and if so, one permit application per property is required — not one per individual unit. A compliant operator generally submits accurate contact information, discloses any property manager used, and provides a brief marketing description including advertised occupancy limits and dwelling type for each rental on the property. If the owner is a corporation or partnership, the application must also include the entity's state of formation and the names and contact information of principal officers or partners, and the application itself must be signed by an officer or authorized agent.

Ind. Code § 36-1-24-11 is primarily directed at short-term rental owners and local governments, but tenants and neighbors may find it relevant when evaluating whether a short-term rental in their community is operating with a required local permit. The provision limits what information a local unit can demand from an owner, which means permit records — where publicly accessible — may include the owner's contact details, any property manager's information, and a description of how the rental is advertised. Those with concerns about an unpermitted or improperly permitted short-term rental in their area may consider contacting their local government unit or a tenant-rights organization familiar with Indiana's short-term rental regulations under this chapter.
