Since STRs are not permitted in Burbank, there is no established TOT collection system for STR operators. Unauthorized rentals are subject to code enforcement action. No established STR TOT rate.
Burbank imposes a Transient Occupancy Tax of 10% of the rent charged by hotel and motel operators to transient guests. Operators must collect the tax and remit it to the city on a monthly basis. The tax applies to stays of 30 consecutive days or less. Since short-term rentals are banned in Burbank, the TOT does not apply to residential rental operations. The city also charges a 12% Transient Parking Tax (TPT) on parking fees, collected quarterly. Hotel operators must register with the Finance Department and maintain records for inspection.
Failure to collect or remit TOT by hotel operators is subject to penalties and interest. Operating an unlicensed transient accommodation is a zoning violation.
