Keller FAQ
Does Airbnb handle all my Keller STR taxes?
No. Airbnb only collects and remits the 6 percent state hotel occupancy tax. Operators must still register with the City of Keller and remit the 7 percent local hotel occupancy tax themselves.
When are stays exempt from hotel occupancy tax?
When the same guest stays 30 consecutive days or more, both the Texas state and Keller local hotel occupancy taxes do not apply to those nights under state law and local ordinance.
North Richland Hills FAQ
What tax rate applies to NRH short-term rentals?
13% combined: 7% NRH hotel occupancy tax plus 6% Texas state hotel tax on the gross room rate including cleaning fees for stays under 30 days.
Do Airbnb and VRBO collect NRH hotel tax?
Platforms reliably collect and remit the 6% state tax. The 7% city tax may not be collected by the platform, so operators should verify and remit any shortfall themselves.
