Plano STRs collect 13% HOT total (6% state + 7% city). Registration is 300 dollars, reduced to 100 dollars with compliance incentives. Airbnb auto-collects the Plano portion under a 2019 agreement.
Short-term rentals in Plano (stays under 30 days) are subject to both the Texas state Hotel Occupancy Tax of 6 percent (Tax Code Chapter 156, remitted quarterly to the Texas Comptroller) and the Plano city HOT of 7 percent (Tax Code Chapter 351), for a combined effective rate of 13 percent on the gross rental price including cleaning and mandatory fees. Plano was the first Texas city to reach a voluntary agreement with Airbnb (2019) for automatic collection and remittance of the city HOT, so Airbnb hosts do not need to remit Plano HOT themselves. Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct-booking hosts must register with the Plano Finance Department, file monthly or quarterly returns, and remit the 7 percent city portion directly; state HOT is handled separately through the Comptroller. The one-time STR registration fee is 300 dollars, reduced to 100 dollars for operators who complete the city compliance and educational track. Penalty and interest apply to late HOT remittance under state and local rules.
Unremitted HOT: penalty plus interest under TX Tax Code. Unregistered STR: fine and cease-operations order. Continued noncompliance forfeits any grandfathered status.
