What to do

  1. Ask about zoning

    Ask Buckingham County’s planning or zoning office whether your district allows a short-term rental and whether you need a permit or to register. Check your HOA rules too.

  2. Taxes on each stay

    Stays under 90 days owe 5.3% sales tax, and stays under 30 days also owe the local transient occupancy tax. Airbnb collects both on its bookings. If guests pay you directly, file sales tax with Virginia Tax. Buckingham County’s lodging tax is 2%. For direct bookings, ask the Commissioner of the Revenue how to file. The Town of Dillwyn didn’t report a rate to Virginia Tax.Source
