LLC Licenses for STR in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge

LLC Licenses for STR in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge

Have a few questions:

Does Airbnb/VRBO obtain licenses/permits for me? I know they both report my taxes so that is covered I'm pretty sure including the 1% gross tax required in Pigeon Forge (at least that is why Avalara told me on the phone). I have been using Avalara but since my taxes are already reported I'm cancelling my subscription. I just deeded my STR over to my LLC and out of my name so I wasn't sure if I needed to get new licenses/permits which is why I need to find out if Airbnb/VRBO does this for me already.

Also, I have a STR in both Sevierville and Pigeon Forge.

Thanks you guys!!! Hands down the STR forum is the best.

    You’ll need a business license in the LLCs name and that’s about it.

    No, Airbnb does not obtain a permit on your behalf. I don't use VRBO right now but I would assume they don't either.
