STR guests pay Jefferson Parish local sales tax on room rentals of 3.75% plus Louisiana state accommodation tax (3% where the operator has 10+ rooms, otherwise 5%), plus applicable local occupancy taxes. The parish STR license processing fee is $750 per year.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's 2025 tax-rate table lists the local Hotel/Motel Room Rentals rate at 3.75% (school board 2.00% + law enforcement district 0.25% + parish council 1.50%); the Harahan zone adds 0.80%. The Louisiana Department of Revenue sets the state tax on accommodations in Jefferson Parish at 3% for operators with 10 or more rooms and 5% for 9 or fewer (through 12/31/2029). Additional occupancy taxes are levied by parish tourism and stadium/exposition district authorities. The $750 STR processing fee is charged at application and every renewal.
Failure to collect and remit occupancy/sales taxes exposes the operator to assessment, penalties, and interest from the JPSO Bureau of Revenue and Taxation and the Louisiana Department of Revenue.
