Urbana requires all short-term rentals to register annually under its Rental Registration and Inspection Program and pay a 7% local hotel/motel use tax.
If you rent your property for fewer than 30 days, you must register it with the City of Urbana's Building Safety Division and pay an annual fee. You are also required to collect and remit a 7% city hotel/motel tax, though platforms like Airbnb typically handle this for you. While the city is considering more specific rules, currently STRs are treated like any other residential rental property.
