Combined lodging tax: 14.75% of revenue. Charged on what you earn, so it is not in the totals above.
2 figures are not yet verified against the city (Business licence, Inspection). They are left out of the total rather than counted as zero, so the real first-year cost is higher than shown.
Conditions attached
- Must be the host's primary residence; advertisements must display license number; only one reservation/booking at a time.
- Liability cover of at least $1,000,000.00 required.
