HostReadyBranson requires an STR Permit issued by the Fire Department following an approved fire safety inspection, along with a Nightly Rental business license. STRs are defined as dwelling units rented for not less than one night and not more than 30 consecutive days, and do not include rentals operating within a primary residence. Operators must remit a 4% tourism tax directly to the City, as neither Airbnb nor VRBO remit on behalf of operators.
Licensing and Permits
Branson requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. An inspection is required as part of the permitting process.
