Short-term rentals in Lompoc are subject to the city's Transient Occupancy Tax on stays under 30 days (commonly 10–12% in CA cities). Operators must register and remit TOT.
Lompoc taxes short-term stays the way California cities generally do: the Transient Occupancy Tax applies to rentals under 30 days, with rates in CA cities commonly around 10–12%. The mechanics fall on the operator — register with the city, add the tax to each guest's bill, and remit it on the city's schedule. Platform tax collection, where it exists, supplements rather than replaces your obligation to be registered and to verify remittance. Confirm Lompoc's current rate directly with the city before pricing your listing, since rates are set locally and can change.
