Hartford Chapter 17 places primary compliance responsibility on the registered host while encouraging platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo to verify Hartford registration numbers in listings.
Hartford's STR ordinance assigns primary compliance liability to the registered host, who must display a valid Hartford registration number on every public listing across booking platforms. While Connecticut has not enacted a statewide platform-accountability statute mandating listing removal, Hartford may notify platforms of unregistered listings and request voluntary delisting. Hosts remain responsible for collecting and remitting Connecticut's 15% lodging tax (CT §12-407) and maintaining Chapter 17 compliance regardless of platform policies. Future state legislation may impose direct platform obligations, but currently host accountability is the primary enforcement lever.
Listing on a platform without a valid Hartford registration number, failing to remit Connecticut lodging tax, or providing false registration data to platforms can result in Chapter 17 fines, tax penalties, and listing-removal requests.
