TRANSIENT ROOM TAX INFORMATION

Important changes in Kentucky's local and statewide transient room taxes were made during the 2022 session of the Kentucky General Assembly with the passage of House Bill 8, which took effect on January 1, 2023. Among those changes is the required payment of local transient room taxes by short-term rental and other accommodations facilitators and by certain other lodging providers. Documents below were compiled by KTIA to inform and assist stakeholders in complying with the new requirements.
