STR operators in Quincy must collect and remit Massachusetts state room occupancy excise (5.7%) plus any applicable local option tax. State registration with the MA Department of Revenue is required. Operators must carry $1 million liability insurance.
Under MGL c. 64G, all Massachusetts STR operators must register with the MA Department of Revenue and collect the 5.7% state room occupancy excise. Quincy may levy an additional local option excise up to 6% under the state enabling statute. Operators must carry liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence. Platforms like Airbnb typically collect and remit state taxes automatically, but hosts remain responsible for compliance with local registration and insurance requirements.
Failure to register with DOR or remit taxes subjects operators to state tax penalties and interest.
