Submitting report and reso. autho. For the State Treasurer to Enter Into an Agreement with Airbnb to Collect Hospitality Taxes on Short Term Rentals. (Council Member Ayers has requested that the Legislative Policy Division provide a report analyzing whether or not the hotel tax can be applied to short-term rooming and housing rental companies like the popular Airbnb. The Legislative Policy Division previously provided a more general report regarding regulatory and tax issues pertaining to this emerging economic model, dated December 1, 2015. As stated therein, the Legislative Policy Division’s initial research regarding this novel and developing economic sector indicates that an Airbnb or similar “sharing economy” short-term housing arrangement should be included within the definition of “Rental Property” under Section 9-1-13 and 9-1-81 of the City code.)
