Short-term rentals in Live Oak must collect Texas state hotel occupancy tax, and may owe local hotel tax up to 7 percent under Texas Tax Code Chapter 351 if the city has imposed one.
Texas Tax Code Chapter 156 imposes a 6 percent state hotel occupancy tax on rentals under 30 consecutive days, which applies to short-term rentals statewide, including Live Oak. Texas Tax Code Chapter 351 authorizes cities to impose an additional local hotel occupancy tax up to 7 percent. Operators should confirm with Live Oak City Hall whether a local hotel tax has been adopted and the reporting schedule (often quarterly). Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo remit state tax automatically in Texas, but local tax usually remains the host's responsibility. Failure to register or remit can trigger penalties, interest, and state audits by the Texas Comptroller.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
