SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
A county in California is seeking a vendor to provide, implement, maintain, and support a comprehensive cloud-hosted short-term rentals system. The requested solution is a fully hosted, browser-based Software as a Service (SaaS) platform to support the administration, compliance, and enforcement of the county’s Short-Term Rentals (STR) and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) programs.
The system must operate entirely within the contractor’s cloud environment and be accessible to both the public and county staff through modern web browsers. Required capabilities include secure online registration, application submission and renewal, payment processing, payment history review, notices, account updates, reporting, and administrative functions. The scope also includes software, hosting, implementation services, support, maintenance, integrations, and all related activities necessary to deliver a complete operational system.
The platform must be scalable and adaptable to future changes in laws, ordinances, regulations, policies, business workflows, data structures, reporting, and system logic. It should also support future integration with external agencies and hosting platforms as operational and regulatory requirements evolve. The anticipated contract term is two years. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 13, 2026, and questions are due by July 15, 2026.
