Your licensing checklist

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

Commonwealth of Virginia

  1. Know who pays the tax

    When a platform like Airbnb books the stay, it collects and pays the state sales tax and the local lodging tax for you. If guests pay you directly, register with Virginia Tax for sales tax and with your county or city for the transient occupancy tax.Source

  2. Register with your locality if it has a registry

    Many counties and cities require short-term rental hosts to register every year. Registration is a simple filing (your name, each address, and the owner’s permission if you lease the home), but listing an unregistered rental can cost up to $500 per violation.Source

  3. Check your zoning

    Counties and cities keep their power to decide where short-term rentals are allowed and whether you need a zoning or use permit. HOA and condo rules still apply on top. Pick your area for the local rules.Source

  1. Register with the Commissioner of the Revenue

    Register before you offer the home for rent. The first registration costs $50 unless you already hold an accepted license or registration. Renting unregistered can cost $500 each time.Source

  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. Floyd County’s 5% lodging tax is filed monthly with the Commissioner by the 20th; send a voucher even in months with no rentals.Source

  3. Ask about zoning

    Ask Floyd County Planning (or the Town of Floyd, inside town limits) whether zoning allows a short-term rental at your address. Check your HOA rules too.
