Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit Plano's seven-percent hotel-occupancy tax and the six-percent state HOT on the host's behalf for stays under 30 days. Hosts using direct-booking websites or Facebook Marketplace must register with the city and remit HOT themselves.
Under voluntary collection agreements with the Texas Comptroller and the City of Plano, the major platforms remit roughly 13 percent combined hotel tax directly. Hosts who book exclusively through those platforms are credited and need only register the property and report zero direct receipts. Hosts who accept off-platform bookings, including via personal websites, Facebook, or repeat clientele, must collect HOT at the point of sale and file monthly or quarterly returns with both the Plano Finance Department and the Texas Comptroller. Failure to remit creates joint liability with the property owner of record.
Direct-booking hosts who skip HOT remittance face penalty interest, 10 percent late fees, and possible registration revocation; intentional evasion is a misdemeanor under Tex. Tax Code Ch. 156.
