Airbnb Hosts in Virginia - Lodging Taxes

Hi, AirBnb is supposed to be collecting any lodging or transient taxes in Virginia in ALL counties that have them effective 9/1. I see that they are not in my locality. Has anyone had a similar experience? Yes, I've tried to contact AirBnB on this and the say they are collecting it but when I calculate it, it's only the 5.3% sales tax they're collecting. Thanks!

Your lisitng shows indeed 5,3% tax, used for:

Local Sales and Use Tax (Rappahannock)
Retail Sales and Use Tax (Virginia)
 
This is the same percentage what the Help file mentions:
