Residential Rental

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Attention property owners and property management companies: Remember even if you did not rent the property for a filing period, you must still file a $0 TPT return.

 

Residential Rental is the rental of real property for a period of 30 or more consecutive days for residential purposes only and not commercial. Residential rental properties are also subject to tax, known as transaction privilege tax (TPT), and imposed when engaged in business under the residential rental classification by the Model City Tax Code. Some cities, not all, opt to tax residential rental income.

TPT is imposed when renters or property management companies engage in business under the residential rental classification by the Model City Tax Code. Individual owners of taxable rental properties are required by law to obtain a TPT license with ADOR regardless if the owners rent the property themselves or employ a property management company (PMC). A license is only required for cities that impose a tax on residential rental activity. To determine if a city tax license is required, taxpayers can use the Residential Rental Licensing Matrix.

For more information, please see What residential rental income is taxable?
