How we verify
Every rule and rate on this site has a source attached and a date it was last checked. Here's how that works.
Sourcing tiers
Tier 1 — Official
State revenue department notices and statutes, city code, Airbnb Help Center tax and permit pages.
Can support a Confirmed status.
Tier 2 — Credible report
News outlets, an Airbnb email several hosts received, a host's screenshot.
Reported only, until a Tier 1 source agrees.
Tier 3 — Lead
Reddit posts, blogs, third-party guides.
Nothing published; triggers a check.
- No fact is published without a Tier 1 or 2 source.
- Rates are copied exactly as the source states them — never combined or rounded.
- When sources disagree, the page says so and the field is marked Reported.
- Every jurisdiction is re-verified at least every 30 days.
What the statuses mean

ReportedCredible but not yet confirmed by an official source.
SupersededReplaced by a newer confirmed change.
The review process
Automated monitors read official, Airbnb and news sources every week. When a page changes in a way that matters, the change is published right away, marked Reported and labeled as automatically detected, and each place page shows what its sources say as of the latest check. A person then reviews the change against the source before it is marked Confirmed or an email alert goes out. Host tips go through the same review.
