STR operators must collect Utah state sales tax, state transient room tax (0.32%), county transient room tax, and Sandy municipal transient room tax, plus pay an annual business license fee.
Utah Code Section 59-12 imposes sales tax (combined rate about 7.75% in Sandy) on short-term lodging. Additionally, transient room taxes apply: state TRT of 0.32%, Salt Lake County TRT of 4.25%, and any municipal TRT adopted by Sandy. Operators register with the Utah State Tax Commission, file returns (typically monthly or quarterly), and remit all applicable taxes. Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo collect some taxes automatically, but operators remain responsible for ensuring all local taxes are collected.
