Citrus Heights imposes a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) of approximately 12% on all stays under 30 days. Operators must collect TOT from guests and remit monthly or quarterly to the city Finance Department, plus pay annual business license fees.
Citrus Heights levies a Transient Occupancy Tax of approximately 12% on the rent charged for stays of 30 consecutive days or less in any hotel, motel, or short-term rental. Operators are responsible for collecting the tax from guests at the time of payment and remitting it to the city Finance Department on a monthly or quarterly schedule depending on volume. Airbnb and some platforms may collect and remit TOT on behalf of hosts where an agreement exists with the city, but operators remain ultimately responsible for compliance. Late remittance incurs penalties (typically 10% of amount due) plus interest. An annual business license tax is separately required. The TOT certificate must be obtained before the first rental. Failure to collect or remit TOT can result in personal liability, back taxes, penalties, and revocation of the operating permit.
Failure to remit TOT: penalty 10% of tax due plus 1.5% monthly interest. Fraud or repeated failure: misdemeanor and permit revocation.
