La Habra levies no transient occupancy tax and charges no short-term rental fees, because short-term rentals are prohibited citywide. There is no TOT rate, permit fee, or per-night charge for STRs in the city.
La Habra does not impose a transient occupancy tax (TOT). Orange County's tax records list La Habra's TOT as 'none', reflecting that the City has never adopted a lodging tax. Because short-term residential rentals are banned under Ordinance No. 1836 and Title 18 of the zoning code, the City also charges no STR application, registration, or per-night fee. Note that California has no statewide TOT, so any occupancy tax would have to be city-adopted, and La Habra has adopted none. Hosts should not rely on third-party sites that quote a La Habra STR tax or fee; no such charge exists in the municipal code.
There is no STR tax or fee to owe; however, operating a short-term rental remains a prohibited land use and public nuisance enforced under the zoning code and municipal code penalty provisions.
