Short-term rental rules in Washington: what the state sets
Washington levies the state Retail Sales Tax of 6.5 percent on short-term rental stays. State law sets this base lodging tax rate, which applies to transient accommodations across all counties. The state does not issue a single statewide short-term rental license, so registration and operating permits are managed at the city or county level. Local municipalities may also impose additional lodging taxes, zoning limits, or caps on night stays. Property owners must register with local authorities where required and follow both state and city guidelines to keep a rental property compliant.
Check your HOA and deed before you list
Even when state and local laws allow a short-term rental, private community rules can restrict hosting. A homeowners association, condo declaration, or deed restriction can prohibit short rentals entirely, and those terms take precedence over municipal permits. Property owners should review all governing documents before listing a unit. Many municipal applications require the applicant to certify that no private restrictions or association rules forbid operating a rental on the site.
