Solano County, CA Short-Term Rentals: Taxes & Fees (2026)

Summary

All short-term rentals in unincorporated Solano County must register for and collect Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) at the current rate of 5% of the total listing price, including any cleaning fees, on stays of 30 consecutive days or less. Operators register for a TOT certificate through the Solano County Department of Resource Management before accepting bookings, file returns on the schedule set by the Treasurer-Tax Collector, and remit collected tax to the County. Platform-collected tax (where the booking platform remits on the operator's behalf) does not eliminate the registration requirement. On top of TOT, operators pay the Solano County business license fee under Chapter 14 and the land-use permit application fee — a Minor Use Permit was approximately $6,831 (2021 schedule); the Administrative Permit fee for VHRs on public roads is lower but still substantial. Failure to register or remit TOT can result in penalties, interest, and permit revocation.
