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

Prince Edward County, Virginia

  1. Check your district

    In A1 and A2 a short-term tourist rental is allowed by right. In R1, R2, R3, and the College Residential district near Hampden-Sydney, you need a special use permit; the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors hold hearings and can add conditions.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. Prince Edward County’s lodging tax is 7%. For direct bookings, ask the Commissioner of the Revenue how to file.Source

  3. Then your town or area

    Zoning rules are set by the county outside town limits and by each town inside them, and towns can add their own lodging tax. Pick your area.

Town of Farmville

  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. Virginia Tax lists Farmville’s lodging tax at 7%, but a town ordinance raises it to 8% from July 1, 2026. For direct bookings, ask the town which rate applies and how to file.Source

  2. Ask about zoning

    Ask the Town of Farmville whether zoning allows a short-term rental at your address, and whether you need to register or get a business license. Check your HOA rules too.
