Taxes & Fees: Brentwood vs Concord

Brentwood imposes a 10 percent Transient Occupancy Tax on the rent paid by guests for stays of fewer than 30 consecutive days under Municipal Code Chapter 3.28. Operators must register, collect TOT from each guest, and remit the tax to the Finance Department on a regular schedule. Failure to collect or remit TOT results in penalties, interest, and liability for the tax itself.

Concord imposes a 10% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on lodging stays of 30 consecutive days or fewer under Concord Municipal Code Chapter 3.25. STR operators must collect the 10% from guests, hold it in trust for the city, and remit it on a monthly or quarterly schedule. Airbnb and Vrbo collect TOT directly for many Concord listings; hosts should confirm and still file returns showing gross rents and any platform-collected amounts.
