Transient Room Tax Forms

Any operator renting rooms or space, for periods of less than 30 days, for lodging or sleeping purposes in the City of Warrenton shall collect a tax from the occupant, known as Transient Room Tax. The amount of this tax is 12% of the rent charged by the operator. Each operator shall collect the tax imposed at the same time as the rent is collected from every transient.

Each eligible lodging provider is required to file a tax return and pay the tax amount quarterly to the City of Warrenton. This is due the 15th day of the following month. It is delinquent the last day of the month in which it is due. Failure to pay on time will result in a 10% late fee and subsequent late fees of 15% plus interest. Continued delinquency may result in a requirement for monthly returns and payments.  Only those lodging providers notified by the City are required to report monthly.

Lodging Tax Forms are mailed to each operator or can be obtained by clicking on the links below.

If you have questions regarding transient room tax, please call City Hall at (503) 861-2233.
