Transient Occupancy Tax

The City of Vacaville imposes a Transient Occupancy Tax of 8% on the rent charged for occupancy of any hotel, motel, or other lodging facility for stays of 30 consecutive days or less under Vacaville Municipal Code Chapter 3.16 (Transient Occupancy Tax). On top of the TOT, Chapter 3.17 (Vacaville Hotel Business Improvement District) imposes a tourism marketing assessment that increased from 2% to 4% effective November 1, 2025, generating dedicated revenue for tourism promotion administered through Visit Vacaville under a management agreement with the city. Effective October 1, 2023, the city contracted with HdL Companies for TOT collection, return processing, and audit; operators file directly with HdL's TOT Processing Center. The TOT ordinance has not been comprehensively updated since 2003, and the City Council is considering modernization amendments and a possible rate change for the November 2026 ballot.
