What to do

  1. 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. For direct bookings, register with the Commissioner of the Revenue before collecting, and file the county’s 5% lodging tax every month.Source

  2. Ask about zoning

    Ask King George County’s zoning office whether your district allows a short-term rental and whether you need a permit. Check your HOA rules too.
