Sales Occupancy Tax
If you own or manage a hotel, bed and breakfast, short-term rental, or hostel, you must collect and remit sales occupancy tax. Sales occupancy tax, also known as hotel, lodging, or transient occupancy tax, is charged to guests who rent rooms or homes for short stays, typically less than 30 days. It helps cities, counties, and states gain the funding needed to promote tourism, public safety, transportation, and more.
