TOT/TBID Collection
All TOT and TBID are due monthly per the Tax Collector.
The owner/manager of the "Transient occupancy Facility" (Hotel/Motel, Bed and Breakfast, Vacation rental, Guest cabin, or trailer at a fixed location, etc.) collects the tax on behalf of the County of Mariposa and then remits it to the Tax Collector’s office on a monthly basis.
