HB 812 Limited Residential Lodging Act; established, penalty.
Introduced by: Christopher K. Peace | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Limited Residential Lodging Act; penalty. Establishes the Limited Residential Lodging Act (the Act), which allows property owners to rent out their homes or portions thereof for charge for periods of less than 30 consecutive days or do so through a hosting platform, under certain circumstances. The hosting platform may register with the Department of Taxation, in which case the hosting platform is responsible for the collection and remittance of all applicable taxes on behalf of the property owner. The bill defines "limited residential lodging," "booking transaction," and "hosting platform" and provides for penalties for violations of the Act. The bill also requires the Housing Commission to convene a work group with representation from the hotel industry, hosting platform providers, local government, state and local tax officials, property owners, and other interested parties to explore issues related to expansion of the framework set forth in the bill related to the registration, land use, tax, and other issues of public interest associated with the short-term rental of dwelling and other units that are not a person's principal residence. The work group shall take into consideration existing structures governing the activities of bed and breakfast inns, vacation rentals, and other transient occupancy venues. The work group shall complete its work by December 1, 2016, with the goal of developing draft legislation for consideration by the 2017 Session of the General Assembly.
