Registration Rules: Brentwood vs Concord

Short-term rentals of under 30 consecutive days in Brentwood are subject to the City's Transient Occupancy Tax registration and business license requirements. Operators must register with the Finance Department, obtain a TOT certificate, and collect and remit the 10 percent Transient Occupancy Tax monthly. Operators should also check their zoning district and any HOA CC&Rs before listing.

Concord requires short-term rental (STR) operators to obtain a Business License and register with the city Finance Department to collect Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). Hosts must provide operator contact information, property address, number of bedrooms, and proof of property insurance. STRs are permitted in residential zones subject to compliance with zoning, building, and health/safety codes. Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo collect TOT directly in many cases.
