Frequently Asked Questions
STR taxes?
Occupancy tax: 5-15% typical. Sales tax: 4-10% depending on state. Tourism development tax: 1-5%. Some cities stack all three (NYC, New Orleans, Scottsdale). Marketplace platforms (Airbnb, VRBO) often collect and remit.
Compliance burden?
Monthly filings required typically. State + county + city sometimes separate. Software: Avalara, TaxJar, Lodgify. DIY time: 3-5 hrs/month. Accountant: $300-1500/month for multi-property. Automation reduces burden.
Common pitfalls?
Forgetting occupancy tax (often not collected by platform). Late filings (fines $50-500/month). Wrong jurisdiction registration. Failed registration renewals. Track active registrations carefully.
How often should I rerun this?
Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
