San Diego County charges 8% Transient Occupancy Tax on rent from stays of 30 consecutive days or less in the unincorporated area, including Bostonia. The operator collects it from the guest and remits quarterly to the County Treasurer-Tax Collector.
Under San Diego County Code Chapter 2, a 'transient' is a person occupying a hotel (or short-term rental) for 30 consecutive days or less, counting portions of days as full days (Sec. 22.202). The TOT rate for the unincorporated area is 8% of the rent (reduced from 9% to 8% in 2007), lower than the City of San Diego's rate. The host collects the 8% from the guest at the time of payment and remits it, with a return, to the County Treasurer-Tax Collector on a quarterly basis. Stays longer than 30 days are exempt from TOT.
Late or unpaid TOT accrues penalties and interest set by the County ordinance; the Tax Collector may audit records and assess delinquent amounts.
