Full Breakdown

Every licensed short-term rental in Broken Arrow must collect and remit all applicable state taxes and city fees, and hosting platforms may do this collection on the licensee's behalf. The zoning ordinance layers a specific tax duty onto the largest STR tier (Short-Term Rental 3), requiring the owner to collect hotel/motel tax and remit it to the City of Broken Arrow. Licensees also owe an annual license processing fee set in the city's manual of fees, due yearly to the community development director. The obligations run in Tulsa County alongside separate state sales-tax duties owed to Oklahoma.

Violations & Fines

Failing to collect or remit required taxes or fees violates § 7-468.1(h); noncompliance is grounds for license denial, suspension, or revocation and a class B misdemeanor citation.
