Short-term rentals in unincorporated Butte County are subject to the county Transient Occupancy Tax on stays under 30 days. Operators must register and remit TOT to the county.
Short-term rentals in unincorporated Butte County owe the county's Transient Occupancy Tax on stays under 30 days. The obligation comes with process: operators must register with the county before collecting, then remit the tax on schedule. Some booking platforms collect TOT automatically in some jurisdictions, but the legal responsibility stays with the operator — verify what your platform actually remits to Butte County rather than assuming. Stays of 30 days or more fall outside the tax. Keeping registration current and filings on time is the cheapest part of running a compliant rental.
