The overview
Lodging tax is where a lot of otherwise well-run hotels quietly build up six-figure exposure. Exemption certificates, OTA collection differences, and overlapping city/county/state rates trip up even experienced owners.
We register you in every required jurisdiction, reconcile OTA-collected tax, manage exemption documentation, and file on time—so an audit becomes a non-event.
If you've already fallen behind, we handle voluntary disclosure agreements to limit penalties and get you clean.
Local hotel occupancy tax rates, exemption rules, and a free tax calculator.

Common questions
The OTAs collect some tax—do I still owe anything?
Usually yes, and the split varies by state and platform. We reconcile what the OTAs remit against your total liability so nothing slips through the cracks.
I think I'm behind on lodging tax. What now?
We quantify the exposure and, where appropriate, negotiate a voluntary disclosure agreement to cap look-back periods and waive penalties before an auditor finds it.
