Summary
Edmond taxes short-term rentals at 6% under its Lodging Tax Ordinance: the code's definition of 'Lodging' expressly names short-term rentals and vacation rental homes alongside hotels, so an Airbnb-style stay owes the same excise tax as a hotel room.
Lodging shall mean any building...in which the public may, for consideration, obtain sleeping accommodations... This term shall include hotels, motels, vacation rental homes, short-term rentals, lodging houses... There is hereby levied and imposed a lodging excise tax of six percent (6%) upon the gross proceeds or gross receipts derived from all rent for every occupancy of a room or room in a lodging...except that this tax shall not be imposed where the rent is less than three dollars ($3.00) per day.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 39).
Full Breakdown
Edmond's Lodging Tax Ordinance (Chapter 3.12) defines 'Lodging' to include vacation rental homes and short-term rentals, not just hotels and motels. Operators owe a 6% excise tax on gross rent from every occupied room, remitted to the Oklahoma Tax Commission under the city's collection agreement. The tax doesn't apply when nightly rent is under $3. Returns and payment follow the same due dates as state sales tax filings, and tax unpaid within 10 days of the due date draws a 10% penalty, becoming delinquent after 20 days.
Violations & Fines
Tax unpaid within 10 days of the due date draws a 10% penalty; unpaid tax becomes delinquent 20 days after the filing period ends, and the Oklahoma Tax Commission assesses tax due on missing or incorrect returns.
