Monthly Newsletter
Over the past year, our monthly newsletter has focused on data, statistics, and market trends relative to Piedmont real estate, designed to give homeowners and potential buyers a deeper look at the marketplace. This month, we thought it would be interesting to share high-level information regarding two topics that may affect you as a current or future Piedmont property owner. People may not know that the city has, among other things, information and guidelines around rental properties and requirements for running a business out of your home available on their website. If you have recently purchased a home in Piedmont, it would be helpful to connect with the city to learn more about how it runs and what you can do to make your time here more pleasurable. If you want to know more, the City Code is available at Piedmont.city.gov, and the City Clerk’s Office is a helpful resource.
Whether you’re buying a property in Piedmont as an investment or considering a short-term rental for your own use, there are some important facts to consider.
Long-term rentals (30 days or more) are often a good option for people looking to provide housing or live in Piedmont themselves for the community, services, or schools. Below are a few things to remember as you consider a rental property:
A short-term rental is defined as less than 30 consecutive days with at least two consecutive nights and not more than 60 days in a calendar year.
Other factors to consider:

In Piedmont, home occupation means a business conducted at a residence (a definition that doesn’t include renting a property), and comes with some regulation. The goal of the regulation is to accommodate the liberty to conduct economic activity in a home while preserving the residential feel of the neighborhood.
The requirements are listed below, but we highly recommend contacting the City Clerk’s office for more detailed information and guidelines.
Our February event is in collaboration with The Milo Foundation, a non-profit rescue organization home to approximately 200+ animals at any given time. Milo is always in need of supplies.
If you’re interested in donating food, treats, or toys, please call or email us to hear more about what they need. We’ll be happy to stop by and pick up your items.
Your generosity will bring comfort to the lives of shelter pets. Let’s show our community that at Calia Homes, we care not only for our residents but also for our four-legged friends. Please help support the Milo Foundation!
