Vineyard STR operators must collect and remit Sacramento County's Transient Occupancy Tax at 12% on rentals under 30 consecutive days, per SCC Chapter 3.08. TOT is in addition to the $230 STR permit fee and the County business license fee.
SCC §3.08 levies a 12% TOT on any short-term lodging in unincorporated Sacramento County, including the Vineyard CDP. Tax applies to rentals of 30 consecutive days or fewer. Operators must file TOT returns with the Sacramento County Department of Finance, typically quarterly. Airbnb and VRBO have voluntary collection agreements that remit TOT directly for hosted listings, but operators remain responsible for compliance. New STR operators must register for TOT BEFORE accepting bookings.
Failure to collect or remit TOT triggers a 10% delinquency penalty plus 0.5% per month interest under SCC §3.08, plus possible permit revocation under §4.08. Knowing failure to remit collected TOT is a misdemeanor under SCC §3.08 with fines up to $1,000.
