Alabama county rules

Pike County, AL vacation rental rules and taxes

Pike County adds a 4% lodgings tax countywide (in Troy, Brundidge, Banks, Goshen, and unincorporated areas), filed with the state, so most of the county pays 8%. Troy adds its own 4%, collected by the city. We found no short-term rental permits.
