Tuolumne County levies a 12% Transient Occupancy Tax on all short-term lodging in Twain Harte, including vacation cabins, B&Bs, and platform-listed homes. Operators register, collect, and remit monthly to the Tax Collector.
Tuolumne County Code Title 3 imposes TOT on stays under 30 days. Hosts must obtain a TOT certificate before advertising, collect 12% from guests, and file monthly returns with the Tuolumne County Tax Collector. Airbnb and Vrbo collect on hosts' behalf under voluntary collection agreements, but hosts remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and for reporting direct bookings. Late filings incur 10% penalties plus interest. TOT revenue funds tourism promotion, road maintenance, and Sheriff response in mountain communities heavily impacted by visitor traffic.
Failure to register, collect, or remit TOT triggers penalties of 10%, escalating interest, audit by the Tax Collector, and potential VHR permit revocation for repeat noncompliance.
