Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax of 8% of the gross receipts charged to transient guests (30 consecutive days or less) in hotels, motels, and short-term rental (STR) properties rented through home sharing services like Airbnb. TOT is collected in addition to the rent that is paid, including the room rate, cleaning fees, and other charges directly associated with the renting of a room.

The City has partnered with HdL Companies to administer the TOT program. For more information, including TOT forms, online filing, exemptions, and FAQs, please visit HdL Companies. Customer service representatives can also be reached at (916) 235-9984, or via email at FolsomTOT@hdlgov.com.
