Washington imposes statewide sales tax and lodging taxes on short-term rental stays under 30 days. Operators must register with the Department of Revenue, collect applicable taxes, and remit them regardless of local jurisdiction.
Under RCW 82.08 and RCW 64.37, operators of short-term rentals (stays under 30 consecutive days) must collect state retail sales tax and any local lodging taxes. Hosts must register with the Department of Revenue for a business license and collect approximately 6.5% state sales tax plus local sales and lodging taxes. Marketplace facilitators like Airbnb and Vrbo must collect and remit on behalf of hosts under RCW 82.08.0531. Operators must also comply with the Short-Term Rental Operator Registration Act (RCW 64.37) requirements including providing 24-hour contact information.
Failure to register or remit taxes can result in penalties, interest, and potential business license revocation by the Department of Revenue.
