Port Hueneme's STR ordinance requires collection and remittance of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from all short-term rental guests. Contact the City Finance Department for current TOT rate.
Short-term rental operators in Port Hueneme must collect and remit Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on all stays of 30 days or fewer. California's statewide TOT framework allows cities to set their own rates. Hosts must register for a TOT certificate, collect the tax from guests at booking, and file returns with the city on a quarterly basis. Platforms like Airbnb may collect and remit TOT on behalf of hosts in some jurisdictions, but hosts remain ultimately responsible for compliance.
Failure to collect or remit TOT: back taxes plus 10% penalty and 1.5% monthly interest. Intentional evasion may result in additional fines up to $1,000 per occurrence. Operating without a TOT certificate: $500 fine per month of noncompliance. The city may audit rental records going back 3 years.
