For Immediate Release: October 10, 2017
The City of Alexandria will host a community meeting to gather feedback on a proposed Short-Term Residential Rental Registry on Tuesday, October 17, from 7 to 9 p.m, at the Charles Houston Recreation Center (901 Wythe St.). Feedback from this meeting will be incorporated into a staff recommendation to City Council.
Short-term residential rental, or “home sharing,” refers to the rental of houses, condos or apartments to short-term guests. Short-term residential rentals typically occur through online home-sharing platforms such as Airbnb, craigslist, Expedia, FlipKey, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, and VRBO.
A new state law allows localities to create registries for this relatively new type of business. The City’s aim is to ensure fairness among short-term residential rental businesses, hotels and other lodging businesses in the City.
Home sharing is generally subject to the same taxation as hotels and other businesses. Nationwide, many localities are working to ensure that all taxes are assessed and collected fairly.
