Summary

Every Roseville short-term rental permit application requires a nonrefundable application fee set by city council resolution, charged on top of the business license tax, the 10 percent transient occupancy tax, and any other applicable fee. Late renewal applications draw an additional penalty, and unpaid taxes or fees are grounds to deny or revoke the permit.

Every permit application shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable short-term rental permit application fee as established by resolution of the city council, as may be amended from time to time. This application fee shall be in addition to the city's business license tax, transient occupancy tax, and any other license, permit fee, or penalty fee imposed by local, state or federal laws, statutes, rules or regulations.

Full Breakdown

24 at 10 percent of room rent, and any other license, permit, or penalty fee owed under local, state, or federal law. The fee amount itself is not printed in the ordinance; it is set and amended by council resolution rather than fixed in the code. 050(B); an untimely renewal application draws a late penalty, also set by council resolution. 090 lets the finance director suspend or revoke an existing permit for any violation of the chapter, including nonpayment.

Violations & Fines

Falling behind on the transient occupancy tax, the permit fee, or any other city charge tied to the rental is, on its own, grounds for the finance director to deny a new or renewal permit under Section 4.25.100(F), and can support suspension or revocation of an active permit under Section 4.25.090. A late renewal filing separately triggers a council-set penalty on top of the missed fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Roseville short-term rental permit fee replace the hotel tax?
No. Section 4.25.060 states the permit application fee is in addition to the city's business license tax and the transient occupancy tax, so an STR operator owes the fee, the license tax, and the 10 percent room tax separately.
Is the short-term rental permit fee refundable?
No. Section 4.25.060 expressly labels the application fee nonrefundable, regardless of whether the finance director ultimately approves or denies the permit.
Can unpaid taxes cost a host their STR permit?
Yes. Section 4.25.100(F) lets the finance director deny an application, and Section 4.25.090 lets the finance director revoke an existing permit, when the owner is delinquent on transient occupancy tax or any other fee tied to the rental.
