Short-term rental operators must collect Utah state sales tax, state transient room tax, and Salt Lake County transient room tax, plus any city business license fees.
Utah imposes state sales tax (currently 4.85%), state transient room tax (0.32%), and county transient room tax on stays under 30 days. Salt Lake County adds its transient room tax, and combined rates typically total around 12 to 13 percent depending on jurisdiction. Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo may collect and remit some taxes automatically, but operators remain responsible for confirming compliance. City business license fees also apply.
