My guess is that the bed and breakfasts are permitted, licensed and subject to inspection. Here's a link from a quick google search: http://www.co.shasta.ca.u

"Permits are required to operate organized camps, hotels, motels, boarding homes, and bed & breakfast establishments in both the County and the cities. The purpose is to administer provisions of the State Housing Law and Health & Safety Code pertaining to the maintenance, sanitation, ventilation, and use or occupancy of residential rental facilities. Inspections are made on an annual basis. An application for a Permit to Operate is to be filed with the EHD along with the appropriate fee." I don't think it's unreasonable to insist on a difference standard for inspection and compliance once a home is converted into a commercial enterprise.
