Oxnard STR operators must collect and remit Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) at 10% of the rental rate. This applies to all rentals under 30 days. Booking platforms may collect the tax automatically but operators must verify compliance.
The city's Transient Occupancy Tax applies to short-term rentals the same as hotels. The TOT rate is 10% of the rent charged. Operators must register with the city's Finance Department for TOT collection. Platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO may collect and remit TOT on the operator's behalf in some cases, but the operator remains ultimately responsible for ensuring the tax is paid. STR permit fees also apply when initially registering.
Failure to collect or remit TOT may result in penalties, interest, and revocation of the STR permit.
