    Tax on stays here is 9.25% sales tax plus 4% occupancy tax outside Pikeville. Airbnb and VRBO collect both on their bookings. For direct bookings, file sales tax with the state through TNTAP by the 20th of each month. For direct bookings, ask the Bledsoe County Clerk where to file the county occupancy tax; we couldn’t confirm the office.Source
