Transient Occupancy Tax

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax charged on short-term rentals, such as hotels, motels, and vacation rentals. It's typically a percentage of the rental price paid by guests and is collected by the property owner or operator at the time of booking. The funds generated from this tax help local governments support tourism-related services, maintain infrastructure, and promote the area. Essentially, if you stay at a place for a short period, like a vacation, you might pay this additional tax to help your host community thrive.
