Rosenberg levies a 7% local hotel occupancy tax on all short-term lodging stays under 30 days, including Airbnb, Vrbo, and other vacation rentals operating within the city limits.
Operators of short-term rentals in Rosenberg must collect a 7% local hotel occupancy tax (HOT) from guests on rent paid for any stay under 30 consecutive days. This tax is separate from and additional to the 6% Texas state hotel occupancy tax. The city contracts with HdL Companies to administer registration, collection, and audit. Operators must register with HdL via rosenbergtx.hdlgov.com or by calling (281) 241-6461, then file and remit returns monthly. Airbnb collects the state portion automatically but typically does not collect Rosenberg's local 7%, leaving that obligation to the host. Failure to register or remit can result in penalties, interest, and audit assessments.
Operating a short-term rental without registering with the city's HOT administrator, failing to collect 7% from guests, missing the monthly remittance deadline, or underreporting taxable receipts can trigger penalty assessments, interest charges, and back-tax liability through the city's audit program.
