Osage Beach

Osage Beach does not have a specific short-term rental ordinance, meaning STRs operate under general business guidelines. Hosts must obtain a city business license and collect a 5% Transient Guest Tax for stays under 31 days.

To host an Airbnb in Osage Beach, you don't need a special 'STR permit,' but you do need a standard city business license. You must also register to pay the city's 5% Transient Guest Tax, which is separate from state sales tax. Because the city uses 'permissive zoning,' it is highly recommended to verify your property's specific zone with the Planning Department, as STRs are not explicitly listed as allowed in all residential areas. If you are part of a Homeowners Association (HOA), check their rules first, as they often have stricter bans than the city.
