Delano levies a Transient Occupancy Tax on accommodations rented for fewer than 30 days within city limits under authority of California Revenue & Taxation Code §7280. The current TOT rate is set by the City Council and applies to hotels, motels, and STRs.
Operators are required to register with the Delano Finance Department, collect TOT from guests, file periodic returns, and remit the tax. Airbnb and similar platforms may collect on the host's behalf, but the host remains the responsible party of record. Failure to register or remit can result in administrative penalties and back-tax assessments.
Unremitted TOT is recoverable with penalties and interest; failure to collect is a misdemeanor.
