10% Transient Occupancy Tax applies to all rental stays of 30 days or less. TOT must be remitted monthly even if no rentals occurred. SBMC TOT chapter.
STR hosts in Ventura must collect and remit Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on all stays of 30 days or fewer. The TOT rate is 10% of the rental amount. Hosting platforms like Airbnb may collect TOT automatically through agreements with the city. Independent hosts must register with the Finance Department and file returns. The TOT funds city services and tourism promotion. Failure to collect TOT does not excuse the host's liability — they owe the tax regardless of whether it was collected from the guest.
Failure to remit TOT: back taxes plus 10% late penalty and 1.5% monthly interest. The city can audit STR hosts for up to 3 years of unpaid TOT. Willful non-remittance may constitute misappropriation. Operating without TOT registration carries additional fines of $250-$500.
