Short-term rental rules in Delaware: what the state sets
Delaware levies the Short-Term Rental Lodging Tax at a rate of 4.5 percent on short-term rentals. Hosts must collect and remit this tax to the state on applicable stays. Beyond state-level tax obligations, registration requirements, local lodging taxes, and occupancy limits are determined at the municipal or county level. City pages provide specific registration guidelines and local tax details for your area.
Check your HOA and deed before you list
Even when state and local laws permit short-term rental operations, individual homeowners associations, condo boards, and deed restrictions retain the legal authority to ban short stays entirely. Property covenants always supersede city zoning permissions. Hosts should thoroughly review their community governing documents before listing a short-term rental. Many local licensing applications require hosts to sign an affidavit certifying that private deed restrictions do not prohibit short stays on the premises.
