Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Local audits of platform tax records

If a platform collects and sends the transient occupancy tax, the local agency may audit its records of tax received and remitted. The local agency pays the cost of the audit.

Local opt-in rules for rental platforms

The law creates a statewide framework that cities and counties can choose to use. It applies only where a local agency passes an ordinance. It defines short-term rental facilitators broadly to cover platforms that list, book, set prices, or process payments for stays of 30 days or less. Local governments keep the power to set other or stricter short-term rental and tax rules. This helps cities enforce lodging taxes, while platforms face these rules only in places that opt in.

Platforms must report rental addresses and licenses

When a city or county opts in, platforms must report the street address and nine-digit ZIP for each short-term rental they handle. If the address does not identify a single unit, the agency can ask for the parcel number, the listing URL, or details to identify an accessory dwelling unit, guest house, timeshare unit, or one unit in a multifamily building. Listings must show any required local license number and any transient occupancy tax certificate. Reports can be required no more often than quarterly, unless the city already requires monthly tax payments. Local agencies may fine platforms that do not provide required information.
