State law only: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027 on the units AB 1482 covers. An individually owned house or condo is exempt from the state cap only with the statutory exemption notice in the lease. Buildings with a certificate of occupancy in the last 15 years are exempt on their own, which covers part of the newer townhome stock. Corporate or LLC-owned homes outside that window are capped.
// the rulebook
Dublin has no local rent cap, so state law governs: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027 on covered units, and no cap on an individually owned house or condo with the AB 1482 exemption notice in the lease. The city requires a business registration for rentals; the fee is one we confirm with the city at onboarding rather than quote here. There is no registry and no local just cause. Dublin has the highest renter share in the Tri-Valley, with 62% of homes owner-occupied, two BART stations, and a stock of newer HOA townhomes in Wallis Ranch and Tassajara Hills, some of them new enough to sit outside the AB 1482 cap on the 15-year rule regardless of who owns them. A $4,250 house costs about $142 a day empty. Each HOA here has its own rental rules, and a townhome lease that skips them is the fastest route to a fine. We write the exemption notice correctly, check the certificate-of-occupancy date before we promise any cap position, clear HOA approvals, and lease at the pace this market moves.
// what owners run into
Wallis Ranch and Tassajara Hills townhomes come with HOA rental rules and a certificate-of-occupancy date that decides whether the 15-year AB 1482 exemption applies. We check both before quoting an owner any cap position.
Two BART stations anchor large newer complexes, and a 1BR there runs $2,740. A privately owned townhome has to be priced and presented against professional leasing offices, not against other individual landlords.
An empty Dublin house costs about $142 a day. With 38% of households renting, the highest share in the Tri-Valley, the demand is there, but only at the price the complexes are setting this month.

No. Dublin has no cap, registry or local just cause. State law applies: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027 on covered units, and no cap on an individually owned house or condo if the lease carries the AB 1482 exemption notice. Units with a certificate of occupancy in the last 15 years are exempt on their own.
We do not have a published Dublin figure. Because the BART-adjacent complexes set the going rate, we price against their current asking rents, list before move-out, and run HOA approval alongside screening. At $4,250 a month, each day saved is about $142.
Yes, the city requires a business registration for rentals. We have not verified the current fee, so we confirm it with the city when we onboard the property and file it for you.
