Tax Obligations
Short-term rental hosts in Indianapolis are subject to several tax obligations. Understanding these requirements is essential for compliance.
Tax Rate
7% Indiana sales tax + 10% Marion County innkeeper's tax (17% combined)
Platform Tax Collection
Major platforms like Airbnb and VRBO automatically collect and remit applicable taxes on behalf of hosts in Indianapolis. However, hosts should verify that all required taxes are being collected and maintain their own records.
Permit Fees
In addition to ongoing tax obligations, hosts must pay $150 one-time registration fee per property for their STR license, renewed annual.
