What to do

  1. Ask about zoning

    Ask Craig 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. Craig County’s lodging tax is 5% (the Town of New Castle has none). For direct bookings, ask the Commissioner of the Revenue in New Castle how to file.Source
