Following the City Council’s January approval of a three-year agreement with the company HdL software, Corbett said the company sent letters to homeowners with short-term rentals in March, notifying them they are subject to the 12 percent tax.
Corbett said the city has received some calls from residents who received the letter asking for clarification, but has not seen much pushback on paying the tax in recent weeks, adding that the tax does not apply retroactively but instead is aimed at collecting taxes on future rentals.
