Overview
This bill allows cities and counties in California to require short-term rental facilitators – online platforms connecting guests and hosts – to report the physical addresses of short-term rentals. Local agencies can then use this information to enforce transient occupancy taxes. The bill also grants agencies the authority to request additional details if the address isn’t sufficient and to impose fines for non-compliance, while ensuring local agencies retain the flexibility to regulate short-term rentals as they see fit.
Key provisions
- Short-term rental facilitators must report physical addresses to local agencies.
- Local agencies can request additional information if the address is insufficient.
- Local agencies can impose administrative fines for failure to report.
- Local agencies can audit short-term rental facilitators.
- Short-term rental facilitators must include local license numbers and transient occupancy tax certifications in listings.
- Reporting periods can be monthly if local agencies require monthly tax remittance.
- The bill does not preempt local agencies from regulating short-term rentals differently.
- Definitions of key terms like ‘short-term rental facilitator’ are provided.
