Anderson maintains no short-term-rental registry. Any registration is only what Indiana Code 36-1-24 allows, plus mandatory state tax registration with the Indiana DOR and Madison County innkeeper's-tax reporting.
There is no Anderson STR-specific registration ordinance. State law (IC 36-1-24) lets a city require a permit only under that chapter's terms; Anderson has not done so. Operators must, however, register with the Indiana Department of Revenue for sales tax and file the Madison County innkeeper's tax on stays under 30 days. Airbnb and Vrbo collect some Indiana taxes automatically, but hosts remain responsible for confirming their accounts. For unincorporated Madison County parcels a different jurisdiction applies; inside Anderson, verify residential zoning with Zoning & Development before listing.
No city STR registry penalty applies; failure to register for and remit state sales tax or the Madison County innkeeper's tax exposes operators to Indiana DOR penalties and interest.
