Hotels, motels, and short-term rentals in Reno collect a combined transient lodging tax of roughly 13.5%, comprising state, Washoe County, and city components funding tourism, schools, and infrastructure.
The Reno-Sparks-Washoe County combined transient lodging tax is approximately 13.5% on rooms rented under 28 days. Operators register with the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority, collect the tax from guests, and remit monthly. Revenue funds RSCVA tourism marketing, the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, school capital projects, and county roads. Short-term rental hosts are now subject to the same tax under Reno SB 363 implementation. Late filings incur penalties and interest, and willful evasion is a misdemeanor.
Failure to collect or remit the lodging tax can result in penalties, interest charges, license revocation, and misdemeanor prosecution.
