|---|---|
| Does Airbnb or Vrbo collect it? | Airbnb says that from September 15, 2026 it collects the Orange Beach 10% plus state and state-administered taxes. Vrbo lists only Alabama state and state-administered local taxes, so on Vrbo bookings the 10% city tax is likely yours. Confirm with the city. |
| Where to file | The city’s Finance Department collects the city portion, using the city tax return form. |
| What you still do | Direct bookings are yours, and so are any Airbnb stays before September 15, 2026. |
