Active TOT Vacation Certificates
About this dataset
Certificate number and property addresses for active Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) vacation type certificates.
Properties located in the City of San Diego that are rented to Transients for less than one month are required to obtain a Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate. This includes short-term residential occupancy properties of any kind (i.e. houses, condos, rooms, or spaces) rented directly by the owner/operator, by property management companies or via internet travel services. The short-term residential occupancy properties are generally issued a “Vacation” type TOT Certificate.
In general, the data available in this dataset is the same information that is displayed on the TOT Certificate.
