HF 2320: Relating to short-term rental property classification by cities
Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
Under current law, cities are prohibited from regulating short-term rental properties. In addition, cities are permitted to impose a hotel and motel tax upon the sales price from the renting of lodging. This bill allows a city to consider a short-term rental property as lodging for purposes of collecting the hotel and motel tax. A city may adopt an ordinance requiring registration of a short-term rental property and may apply a penalty for failure to register.
