To host an Airbnb in the City of Saratoga Springs, you don't currently need a special 'STR Permit' from the city, but you must register with the Saratoga County Treasurer for tax purposes. You are responsible for ensuring that a total of 6% Occupancy Tax is paid on all bookings under 30 days; while platforms like Airbnb often collect this, you must verify this on your tax registration. Always check with the city planning office to ensure your property isn't violating local zoning rules for 'Tourist Homes.'
