Vacation rentals subject to tourist tax

Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:01 PM PDT

The city is letting the public know that those who offer vacation rentals will be subject to a 10 percent tourist tax. As a beach community, San Clemente has many of its homes and condominiums offered as rentals during the peak summer season, and just like hotels and motels, they are subject to Chapter 3.24 of the Municipal Code, requiring the own to collect and remit to the city a 10 percent Transient Occupancy Tax on any rental under 30 days in duration.

It was reported that the city has been trying identify owners of vacation in the last year not paying the tax. Revenues from the tax generate about $45,000 that the city was not receiving.

Owners and managers of hotels, motels, homes, condos and townhomes, as well as real estate professionals are encouraged to attend a Vacation Rental Workshop scheduled for April 22 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at City Hall in the Council Chambers at 100 Avenida Presidio.

For more information, contact Leisha Sheuman in the city's Business License Division at 949.361.6166 or Tom Rendina in the city's Finance Department at 949.361.8312.

Things to Bring You Near to Your Ideal Vacation Rental

Posted: 22 Apr 2010 05:33 PM PDT

Booking a vacation rental is easy. Hit up the web, find a good listing website, browse, then book. Of course, in between those steps are some important things you should also consider. And in order to find the ideal rental home for your trip, there are several things that can help bring you closer to that vacation property.

Destination of choice

Your vacation rental will be initially shaped by your destination. Depending on the type of place you plan on visiting, you must book the right kind of rental property. For instance, if you are visiting a tropical destination, a beachfront property or even an average home located near the beach would be an excellent choice. As for your metropolitan vacation, high-rise condos will surely provide that modern feel.

Fortunately, there are several types of vacation rental to choose from, and all types of destination are filled with available properties. All that is left for you to do is to define your destination and choose the best rentals you can consider—never forget to gather choices as well.

Budget

Rental homes have different price ranges. There are several factors that define the price of the house. For example, a home with satellite cable and internet connectivity would surely cost more than a rental property without those features. As such, the features of the home will most definitely dictate its price.

Features are everything from the location to the specialized area the home offers. Nevertheless, it is important to set a budget for the rental property. You don't have to go for a home bedecked with attractive features. As long as the rental property meets your standards, you can rest assured that booking it would be nothing short of a good choice.

Preferences

Like mentioned, you have to also know your preferences. This is important not only in making the vacation worthwhile, but also to avoid overspending on the rental property.

Your preferences will also shape your choice of vacation rental. After defining your destination, choose something that will fit the needs of you and those people you're bringing along. If you are planning a group getaway, always include others when making crucial decisions, especially when you are about to choose the rental property you are about to book for the trip. This way, there will be less disappointments among the group.
