This is the general rule for Newport RI. Does your address qualify?

This calculator estimates the tax on a stay. It can't tell you whether you've registered every tax account you need: a missing state, county or city account is a common gap, and it's easy to miss when Airbnb collects some taxes but not others.

Your $49 Compliance Check looks at your exact property:

Whether your exact address and zone allow short-term rentals
A check of HOA / condo rental restrictions to look for
Which permits and tax accounts you personally need
What you're missing right now
A personal report with clear next steps and official sources, by email
A refund if we report a rule in error (refund policy)

🔎 How we check: official city, county and state sources, a last-verified date on every page, and nothing guessed. Learn more
