Full Breakdown
Every host offering a home sharing/short-term rental in Oklahoma City must hold an annual license from the Supervisor of Licenses, currently $110.40 through June 30, 2026 and $120.00 after (plus a 2.7% card-processing fee if paid by credit or debit). Under Section 13-510(b), the city will not issue or renew that license if the operator owes delinquent taxes under Chapter 52, the Hotel Tax Ordinance, which levies a combined 9.25% excise tax on gross lodging receipts. Zoning Section 59-9350.38.1 also requires that all applicable fees and taxes be collected and paid before a special-exception host can operate.

Operating without the license, or falsifying required license information, is a Class "a" offense; delinquent hotel tax also blocks license renewal and can trigger suspension or revocation of an existing license.
