To host an Airbnb in the City of Tulsa, you do not need to apply for a specific 'STR license' like you do in other major cities. However, you are required by law to register your rental with the Tulsa City Clerk for the city's 5% Lodging Tax. You should check the city's zoning map to ensure your property is in a permitted zone, and you must file tax reports every month even if the platform collects the money for you. There is currently no fee to register.
