Loudoun County imposes a 6% Transient Occupancy Tax under VA Code §58.1-3819 on stays under 30 days (2% general TOT + 4% additional under special authority). Virginia state sales tax is 5.3% in Loudoun (4.3% state + 1% Northern Virginia regional transportation tax) plus additional 1% local option = 6%. Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit state sales tax and most local TOT automatically for Loudoun, but direct bookings require operator registration with both Virginia Tax and the Loudoun Commissioner of the Revenue. Total guest-facing tax burden approximately 12%. Quarterly TOT filings due; late payment penalties and interest apply.
