Short-term rental stays in Prince George's County owe the county hotel/motel occupancy tax, currently 7% of gross room charges (up to a 10% ceiling), under Subtitle 10, Division 8. Hosts also pay a $150 initial DPIE license fee plus a $150 annual fee; platforms remit the tax quarterly.
Under CB-11-2018 (Subtitle 5, Division 8), a licensed host shall collect and remit all applicable hotel taxes through the platform, and all platforms must remit hotel taxes as outlined in Subtitle 10, Division 8 of the County Code. Quarterly payments are due on or before the last days of April, July, October, and January to the Department of Finance, covering the prior three months. The county's hotel/motel occupancy tax is currently levied at 7% of gross room charges (the state authorizes a ceiling of up to 10%). Maryland's 6% state sales tax also applies to short stays. Separately, DPIE charges a $150 initial licensing fee and a $150 annual fee; fees are set in the County Table of Fees.
Failure to collect and remit the county hotel tax, or a platform's failure to make required quarterly remittances to the Department of Finance, is enforceable under Subtitle 10, Division 8, and non-payment can also block license issuance or renewal.
