Unincorporated Solano County requires every short-term lodging operator to register on two tracks: a planning/land-use permit (Administrative Permit for hosted rentals, Minor Use Permit for non-hosted VHRs) and a Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate with the Treasurer-Tax Collector. A separate County business license is also required.
Registration in unincorporated Solano County is handled by two different County offices. On the land-use side, Planning Services processes the operating permit - an Administrative Permit for a Hosted Rental under Land Use Regulation 28.72.40(B)(5), or a Minor Use Permit for a non-hosted Vacation House Rental. The County's application materials include a Short-Term Rental Building Application, a VHR checklist, a Good Neighbor flyer, and a Statement of Rules and Regulations. On the tax side, the operator must obtain a Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate from the Treasurer-Tax Collector-County Clerk; the certificate must be posted at all times in a prominent place on the premises. The County also requires a Solano County business license and proof of commercial insurance. VHR operating permits are renewed annually, and renewal requires a Business License Renewal plus a VHR Self-Certification form (and a Re-Inspection form when applicable). Because the County does not exempt platform-listed properties, registering with Airbnb or Vrbo does not satisfy any of these County registration steps.
Listing a short-term rental without a valid operating permit, business license, or posted TOT registration certificate is subject to County code enforcement, including citations, back-tax assessment with penalties, and revocation or non-renewal of the operating permit.
