Redondo Beach levies a 12% Transient Occupancy Tax on hotel/motel stays of 30 days or less under RBMC Title 8, Chapter 2. Short-term rentals are illegal, so no legitimate STR fee or tax program exists for residential properties.
Redondo Beach imposes a Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) of twelve percent (12%) of the rent charged for occupancy of any hotel for thirty (30) days or less, codified in RBMC Title 8, Chapter 2 (Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax). The 12% rate was approved by voters as Measure G and took effect July 2, 2005, per California State Controller records. California has no statewide TOT; this is a city-only tax collected by hotel operators and remitted to the City Treasurer. Because Redondo Beach prohibits short-term rentals in residential zones, there is no STR permit fee, application fee, or STR-specific tax for a house or apartment; the city does not collect TOT on transient stays that are themselves illegal. A homeowner
Failure to collect or remit the 12% TOT exposes a lawful operator to penalties, interest, and collection action; illegal STRs face zoning enforcement rather than a TOT account.
