Reno STRs must collect Washoe County transient lodging tax of 13.5 percent on all stays under 28 days. Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit automatically in many cases. Annual Reno STR business license fee also applies.
Short-term rentals in Reno are subject to the Washoe County combined transient lodging tax totaling approximately 13.5 percent, which includes county room tax, RSCVA tourism tax, and state taxes. The Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA) administers collection. Major platforms like Airbnb typically collect and remit this tax on behalf of hosts, but owners are ultimately responsible for registration with RSCVA and reporting. Hosts must also pay a City of Reno STR business license fee annually, plus a Nevada State Business License fee under NRS 76.
Failure to remit lodging tax: penalties, interest, and potential loss of STR permit. State business license noncompliance: NRS 76 penalties.
