Community Development New Transit Occupancy Tax Program 

On behalf of the Alpine County Finance Department, the Planning Department at Community Development will now manage Transit Occupancy Tax reporting and payments.  In an effort to simplify and streamline the process, Community Development will introduce new features including paperless payment and reporting.  Paperless enrollment will include:

Email reminders 30 days prior to the TOT payment due date (emails will replace mailing of physical remittance form).

Email reminders will include a fillable Quarterly Return Form (PDF) with built in auto calculate feature.

Quarterly TOT Return Forms can be submitted via email to our planning staff

Beginning May 1, 2026, online electronic payments will be available 

Business License issuance and renewal requests will be processed through email

To enroll in the paperless program please email us at planning@alpinecountyca.gov. Please use your preferred email for ongoing communication with staff. Provide your name, address, and preference to enroll in our paperless TOT program. 

If you wish to continue mailing forms, please address them to
