What is a Short-Term Rental?

A Short-Term Rental is any property or part of a property rented for 30 days or less at a time. This includes hotels, homes, apartments or other units, such as a garage apartment or backyard cottage, listed for rent on Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway and other similar websites. All short-term rental owners are required to participate in the collection and payment of Hotel Occupancy Taxes, also known as HOT, from their guests.

When is the Hotel Occupancy Tax due?

Tax payments are due monthly no later than the 20th day of the month following the end of the prior calendar month. If a taxpayer owes less than $500 for a calendar month or $1,500 for a calendar quarter, the taxpayer qualifies as a quarterly filer having a reporting period of a calendar quarter and the taxes are due and payable on the 20th day after the end of the calendar quarter. If there was no rental activity for the entire quarter, you are still required to submit the completed zero-file Hotel Occupancy Tax form.

Why should you use the city’s GovOS payment system?

• Everything is online – no more paper forms or mailing in checks
• Automated reminders to your email address about due dates
• View payment history from your Business Center
• Excellent support from the GovOS Support Team

How do I change the user on a property?

All users need to register, just as you did, by going to the home page for that jurisdiction. They will click on the “Go” button under “New Users”. They will also need the 6 digit account number and Activation Code for the property.

I forgot my password. What do I do?

From the Log In page, click the “Forgot your password” link and follow the instructions that will be e-mailed to the User’s registered e-mail address.

Do I have to login to GovOS to see my alerts and reminders?

No. All alerts are e-mailed to your authenticated e-mail address. When you login to the system, you will also see any open alerts that need to be addressed in your Action Center.

I am a property manager. Will I need a separate login for all my properties?

No, you can manage all your properties under one login, but you will submit individual forms for each property. You can also make one payment for all properties.

I use a property manager. Do I need an account?

Both the owner and property manager can be on the account. Your property manager can manage your compliance for you in the GovOS system. If you want your manager to handle your account, you can send them your activation code and account number once you receive it, and you do not need to create an account.
