Riverside County Ordinance 920 imposes a 10% Transient Occupancy Tax on hotel, motel, and short-term rental stays under 30 days in unincorporated areas, including Wine Country and Idyllwild lodging operators.
Ordinance 920 requires every operator renting lodging for fewer than 30 consecutive days in unincorporated Riverside County to collect 10% of the rent as Transient Occupancy Tax. Operators must register with the Treasurer-Tax Collector, obtain a TOT certificate, file monthly or quarterly returns, and remit collected tax. The tax applies to hotels, motels, RV parks, campgrounds, and short-term rentals. Incorporated cities such as Palm Springs, Indio, and Temecula set their own TOT rates separately. Late returns trigger 10% penalty plus interest, and willful evasion is a misdemeanor.
Failure to register, collect, or remit TOT triggers 10% penalty, monthly interest, and possible misdemeanor prosecution by the Treasurer-Tax Collector.
