Short term rental permits

[Timothy681]

Dacula Local Council sent me a notice of violating operating AIRBNB without permits. They requested that I should stop hosting until a permit is approved and issued to me.

Yes. It’s renewal time now. STRA permit through council.

Are you operating without a permit @Timothy681 ? 

[Timothy681]

I’m just learning about the permit stuff. Never got any before. They sent me the paperwork to fill out to be processed and approved before I can continue hosting. I will get that done as soon as possible. 
That cost has to be passed to my guests, right?

The permit is a cost for your business - all hosts should check with their local government before starting up to see if there are STR regulations in their area and if so apply for relevant licensing . 

Any cost associated with your STR business should be taken into account when setting up a profit and loss account for your business so you factor in all your costs when deciding on your day rates .

Thanks for your help. But my problem is this is almost November, isn’t yearly permit?
