There is a state tax requirement for anyone renting out a property for less than six months. Short-term rentals are required to pay a 9 percent lodging tax. Not a big deal, but our property manager collects it and passes the info on each month. We then, must file with the state and send in payments. The application can be filled in online and filed. Our rental is currently being rented for 12 months so our status with the state is inactive. When that changes, we will go back to paying the tax. Better safe than sorry.
