@Randy54 Obviously I can't speak for the County, but I can tell you that on my TOT form, which I have to file monthly, it has the instructions for Allowable Deductions (from TOT) it says:
" Enter the amount of rent charged to a non-transient (more than 30 consecutive days), Federal Government Employee....."
From that, I infer that TOT does not apply for rentals over 30 consecutive nights (Airbnb goes by nights, not days).
That said, I'd advise contacting the tax collector (805) 781-5831 to clarify what length of stay requires TOT.
I don't think whether you use the property for personal use from time to time makes any difference for paying TOT. That's more of a Federal / State income tax issue.
Sorry I can't provide you with clearer info, but I don't want to give you wrong information.
