Bucks County Lodging Room Rental Tax Ordinance (No. 158) imposes a 5% tax on any room rental of less than 30 days. This applies to all lodging types including hotels, motels, B&Bs, guesthouses, and short-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb. Pennsylvania's 6% Hotel Occupancy Tax applies on top of the county tax, for a total of 11%. STR operators must register with the Bucks County Treasurer's Office, file quarterly returns, and remit the 5% county tax. They must also register with PA Department of Revenue and obtain a Sales and Use Tax Permit for the 6% state tax. Major platforms like Airbnb collect and remit state tax automatically; operators should note this on their county filing for reconciliation. Contact: 215-348-6244.
Failure to file: back taxes, penalties, interest. State tax evasion: PA Department of Revenue enforcement.
