Rental / transient occupancy tax in Georgia

Yes, locally. Cities, and counties within their special districts, may levy an excise tax on rooms, lodgings and accommodations furnished by an innkeeper (O.C.G.A. § 48-13-51(a)(1)(A)). Rates vary by local law. The tax does not apply to charges after the first 30 days of continuous occupancy (§ 48-13-51(h)(4)).
