The City of Norman requires an annual short-term rental license, an annual property inspection, and monthly remittance of local transient taxes.
Property owners must obtain a $150 annual license plus pay a $50 inspection fee for each short-term rental. Operators are allowed to have up to four properties and must collect and remit an 8% city lodging tax manually, as platforms like Airbnb do not pay this directly to the city. STRs are allowed in most residential zones but are prohibited from hosting commercial or social events.
