Taxes & Fees: Oakley vs Pittsburg

Oakley STR hosts must obtain a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) registration certificate under Chapter 3.2 of the Municipal Code. The TOT rate must be collected on all short-term rental stays and remitted to the city. Failure to comply with TOT obligations is an independent basis for permit revocation. A City business license is also required (Chapter 3.5).

The City of Pittsburg imposes a 10 percent Transient Occupancy Tax on the rent charged for any lodging occupied by a transient for 30 consecutive days or fewer. STR hosts must register with the city, collect the TOT from each guest, and remit it to the Finance Department on a monthly or quarterly schedule. Airbnb and Vrbo may collect and remit TOT on behalf of hosts under platform agreements, but hosts remain ultimately responsible for compliance.
