No county-wide short-term-rental registry exists. The only county registration touching lodging is the Hotel Lodging Excise Tax account, required of operators who meet the 5-or-more-room 'hotel' definition. Single-unit Airbnbs generally fall below that threshold; local registration is set by your municipality.
Montgomery County does not maintain a general short-term-rental registry. Operators that qualify as a 'hotel' under the county Hotel Lodging Excise Tax Code of Regulations must register with the Office of Management & Budget to receive an account number before collecting and remitting the tax. The county defines 'hotel' as an establishment with five or more sleeping rooms; most single-unit Airbnb or VRBO listings do not meet that count. Any local short-term-rental registration is imposed by the city, village, or township, not the county.
Operating a qualifying hotel without a county tax account can result in assessment of unremitted tax plus interest and penalties; each late monthly return also risks a per-day forfeiture.
