Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Quarterly Return Forms

Monterey County provides the quarterly TOT tax return forms online for your convenience.  Transient Occupancy Tax is due on or before the last day of the month following the close of each quarter.  A postmark depicting the due date will not be accepted as timely if the payment is not received by the Tax Collector prior to the due date.  Submit your return with sufficient time to ensure receipt by the last day of the month following the close of each quarter to avoid penalties.  At the time the return is filed, the full amount of such tax shall be remitted to the tax collector.

Please note, a TOT Return Form must be submitted even if no tax was collected
