Rogers, AR Short-Term Rentals: Registration Rules (2026)

When the Rogers City Council voted to extend the city's 3% lodging tax to short-term rentals, Visit Rogers and the Rogers Advertising and Promotion (A&P) Commission contracted with GovOS (previously MUNIRevs) to handle registration, licensing, and tax compliance for all hotel and short-term rental properties inside the city. Collection and online registration began January 1, 2022, and property owners received a letter near that date explaining how to register online. Registration and the required monthly tax filings are both completed through the GovOS portal. In addition to A&P registration, an owner must complete the city's business-licensing process and, per Visit Rogers guidance, have the property inspected before operating. The registration framework is administrative rather than a discretionary land-use permit: there is no published density cap, lottery, or numerical limit on registrations, and Rogers has not adopted a separate short-term rental zoning permit. The practical registration footprint is therefore (1) GovOS registration with the A&P Commission for lodging-tax purposes, and (2) a city business license tied to a Certificate of Occupancy inspection. Owners should verify the current registration and form requirements with the A&P Commission and the city's Community Development office, since the city's code and forms are periodically updated.
