Sacramento imposes a parking tax on commercial off-street parking transactions under Title 3 Chapter 3.06. Operators of paid lots and garages collect the tax from drivers and remit monthly to the city Revenue Division.
Sacramento City Code Title 3 Chapter 3.06 imposes a parking tax on the gross receipts of commercial off-street parking lots and garages within the city. Operators register with the Revenue Division, post the tax certificate, charge the tax atop the parking fee, and file monthly returns. The tax does not apply to free parking, residential tenant parking included in rent, or certain government-owned facilities. Validation programs that reduce the effective fee charged to the customer reduce the taxable base. Records must be retained for audit, and the city may inspect ticket inventories or revenue control systems.
Late filing or failure to remit triggers a 10 percent penalty plus interest. Willful evasion, false returns, or failure to register exposes operators to misdemeanor prosecution and revocation of the parking-operator certificate.
