Bill > AB1220

This bill prohibits local governments, including charter cities, from imposing a transient occupancy tax, which is a tax on the privilege of occupying lodging, on residential short-term rental units. A residential short-term rental unit is defined as a home or apartment rented out for sleeping accommodations for less than 90 days. The bill's intent is to create statewide uniformity and fairness by exempting these types of rentals from local taxes, recognizing this as a matter of statewide concern rather than a local municipal affair.
