The Town of Killington requires all short-term rentals (stays under 30 days) to obtain a biennial Short-Term Rental Permit from the Planning & Zoning Department. Key requirements include designating a 24/7 local contact able to respond within 60 minutes, adhering to a maximum occupancy formula (2 per bedroom + 2), and displaying the permit number on all listings. The total lodging tax is 10%, which is collected and remitted by major platforms.
To host an Airbnb in Killington, you must get a Short-Term Rental Permit from the town, which costs $125 and is valid for two years. You'll need to provide floor plans and designate a local contact who can respond to the property within 60 minutes. Make sure you follow the occupancy limit of two guests per bedroom plus two extra, and clearly display your permit number on your Airbnb listing. The good news is that Airbnb will handle the 10% state and local rooms tax for you, but you are still responsible for having a permit.
