Assumptions used
- Taxable rent base: The Delaware FAQ states the state STR lodging tax is imposed on rent and excludes the listed add-ons; the calculator therefore accepts room charge only.
- Rehoboth local category: Rehoboth Beach Code §245-17 describes a 7% city lodging tax for lodging other than lodging subject to Delaware Title 30 Chapter 61; the candidate does not sum both categories.
What may change the final amount
- City tax classification. The Rehoboth city tax code excludes lodging subject to the Delaware state lodging-tax chapter; confirm the property’s classification before adding any local category.
- Direct owner versus intermediary collection. Delaware assigns collection and licensing duties differently to third-party intermediaries and direct owners; this base estimate does not add a booking-channel selector.
- Residential rental license/registration. Rehoboth residential-rental licensing and code-compliance rules affect the operating path but not the 4.5% state base line.
Estimated tax is $20.25. Estimated guest total is $470.25.
