Your licensing checklist

In order: the state, the county, then the town.

State of Tennessee

  1. Register for sales tax

    Register through the Tennessee Taxpayer Access Point (TNTAP). One registration covers all your rentals in the same city or county. If you take direct bookings, collect 7% plus the local rate and file by the 20th of each month. Once registered, file every month, even a $0 return.Source

  2. Get a business tax license

    Rentals under 180 days owe business tax. With $3,000 to $100,000 a year in gross receipts in a city or county you need a minimal activity license; at $100,000 or more, a standard license. Booking platforms don’t handle this for you.Source

  3. Know what the platform collects

    Airbnb, VRBO, and other marketplaces collect and remit sales tax and local occupancy tax on their bookings. Keep records showing they did. For direct bookings, you pay sales tax to the state and occupancy tax to the city or county.Source

  4. Then your county and city

    Permits, zoning, and occupancy tax rates are where Tennessee towns differ most. Pick your area.

Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County

  1. Check which city you’re in

    Most of the county is Metro Nashville. Belle Meade, Berry Hill, Forest Hills, Goodlettsville, and Oak Hill are separate cities with their own zoning, so Metro’s permit rules don’t decide what’s allowed there.

  2. Then your city

    Pick your area.

City of Berry Hill

  1. Ask the city before you list

    Ask Berry Hill City Hall whether zoning allows a short-term rental at your address and whether a city permit is needed.

  2. Register for sales and occupancy tax

    Tax on stays here is 9.75% sales tax plus Metro’s 7% occupancy tax and $2.50 a night. 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. File the occupancy tax for direct bookings with Metro Finance Collections by the 20th of each month.Source
