Although OwnerRez offers a wide range of financial features - from payment collection to tax tracking - OwnerRez does not handle any of your tax responsibilities on your behalf, such as remitting taxes, opening accounts with tax agencies, or filing taxes. Our Avalara MyLodge Tax premium feature accounting integration allows you to streamline your tax reporting while complying with your local tax jurisdictions.

Avalara's MyLodgeTax helps you know:

  • The taxes and rates in your jurisdictions
  • When to report your rental revenue
  • When Avalara will file your returns
  • Whether your marketplace collects taxes on your behalf

Avalara MyLodge Tax allows you to manage your lodging tax compliance with greater ease — license, calculate, file, and remit for every property, all in one place, while reducing manual effort and providing precise, real-time tax calculations for bookings across different jurisdictions and tax types.
