Monthly Room Tax Reporting Instructions for Lodging Providers
Effective Monday, June 16, all lodging providers in Washington County—including hotel operators, short-term rental owners, and managers of properties listed on platforms such as Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com—are encouraged to utilize the new online Washington County Room Tax Report form.
The fillable form is available at: https://lf-portal.washco-md.net/Forms/RoomTax
This convenient tool allows lodging providers to electronically complete and submit their monthly Room Tax Report. Please note the following important guidance:
- If your rental platform (e.g., Airbnb, VRBO) collects and remits the 6% Washington County Room Tax directly to the Treasurer’s Office on your behalf, you are not required to submit a monthly report or payment.
- All other lodging providers must submit a completed Room Tax Report and must be received by the Treasurer’s office by the 25th of each month, even if no tax is due for the reporting period.
- All payments, if due must be received by the Treasurer’s Office by the 25th of each month.
- At this time, all payments must be made by check.
For questions or assistance related to lodging tax compliance, please contact the Washington County Treasurer’s Office at [email protected].
We appreciate your continued cooperation in fulfilling the County’s room tax requirements.
