Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax imposed on guests who rent your property or a portion of your property for the purpose of lodging on a short-term basis (30 consecutive days or less). TOT is collected in addition to the rent paid.

For the privilege of occupancy, the City of Roseville’s TOT rate is 10% of the total rent charged to a guest. The taxable rent includes: room rate, cleaning fees, and other charges directly associated to the room.

TOT is collected by the operator at the same time rent is collected from the guest. The operator is the Owner, property manager, host or lessee providing lodging on a short-term basis.

Any guest who rents for 31 consecutive days or more is exempt from paying TOT. A record of all your exemptions or exclusions should be kept, along with forms and any back-up documentation. This information should be included with your exemption/exclusion claims on your regular tax returns.
Officers of a government or a tax-exempt organization on official business may also be exempt.

Operators collect the tax from renters and file TOT returns with the City monthly. TOT Returns are filed whether rent was collected or not during the period.

The City of Roseville has contracted with HdL Lodging Tax to collect and process TOT Returns. Registered Operators can file their TOT Returns through the TOT Processing Center using the following methods:
