Since County helped me get back on, and I know that the Airbnb Tax Department was totally clueless, and of no help whatsoever, I’m going with that Airbnb isn’t being clear. They still tell you that they collect taxes for us for the county (They do not.)
If they told you to put in the County LBTR, and the County TDT, most people would not be experiencing the problem. The only other way that you have the problems, apparently, are if you don’t pay your TDT taxes, and they put the TDT on hold, or your LBTR is not renewed, or kept up, or info-accurate, and it gets put on hold. Most of us go to get the TDT, and no one mentions that you need an LBTR as well. It’s not a requirement to get a TDT number. It should be. That is on Ms. Gannon’s office.
They still insisted that I be added to the “reactivated list” by the county, when the County clearly said, if you get a new LBTR from them, they can’t do that. Fortunately, there is a liaison in the County Tax Assessor’s office to Airbnb, and they can communicate with people that our hosting service will not allow us mere mortals to communicate with.
I am sincerely grateful to the County for intervening and ironing it out.
