License or permits for operating Airbnb in Harris county Texas

Since Airbnb already collects the below taxes and fees, what am I responsible for reporting to Harris County? Does Airbnb send it on my behalf? Do I need to obtain a permit or license? 

Guest service fee
$96.00
Occupancy taxes
$102.00

Hi @William2019 ! As this is a global forum, it can be a challenge to get in touch with local Hosts and discuss things like Harris County taxes. You could check if there's a local Host Club in your area and join the discussion there as well! To check which Host Clubs are in your area, take a look at the map here: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Local-Host-Clubs/ct-p/en_clubs

@William2019 It would depend on how much space your are renting and if it's short term or long term, tax certificate,  fire code etc. I'm sure someone will disagree.
