STR operators must collect and remit the Dublin hotel/motel lodging tax of 6 percent plus the Franklin County lodging tax (applicable to the portion of Dublin in Franklin County). Airbnb and Vrbo collect some taxes automatically but hosts are responsible for verifying compliance.
Dublin levies a 6 percent hotel/motel excise tax under Dublin Code Chapter 35 on transient lodging rentals of less than 30 consecutive days. This applies to STRs unless otherwise exempt. Franklin County levies an additional lodging tax. Delaware and Union County portions of Dublin face those counties' respective lodging tax rates. Airbnb collects Ohio sales tax and some county lodging taxes directly, but Dublin's city lodging tax may require direct filing with the Dublin Taxation Division. Hosts must register, file monthly returns, and remit by the 20th of the following month. Stays of 30+ consecutive days are generally exempt.
Failure to file and remit: 10 percent penalty plus interest at the statutory rate. Willful non-payment: misdemeanor charges under Dublin Code 35.99.
