To host an Airbnb in the City of Jackson, you must first verify your property is in a zone that allows short-term lodging, as most residential areas are off-limits. You need to obtain an annual business license and a fire inspection. You must also collect a total tax of 12% (sales and lodging tax), though platforms like Airbnb may handle the remittance for you. Note that ADUs (guest houses) can never be used as short-term rentals in Jackson.
