Hi @Jason PerryDirectly from Collier County Ordinances:"In most Zoning Districts that allow dwelling units, transient lodging (less than 6 months) is not a use that is listed as a permitted, accessory, or conditional use in Ordinance 2004-41, as amended, the Collier County Land Development Code.

I am sure the hotels are just as unhappy about this as the airlines.I am hoping that the hotel industry helps push for change in lodging that maybe will attract HUD's attention. 

We're under contract to purchase a seasonal lodge w/rental cabins, a restaurant, gift shop, etc.

In your opinion, Should I be liable to pay for my other roommate(s) lodging for 14 days or is possible illness a risk that should be assumed by all parties when they agree to sharing a home?

In the Army, single soldiers often have to live in the barracks and are not authorized off post lodging/BAH, so that's worth looking into if you're single.

PaulPer Diem varies according to the location you're in...It's also broken up by M&IE (Meals and Incidentals) and Lodging.  

We all know about Denver's Lodging Tax and that it must be collected and paid and that short term rentals have to be licensed in Denver for this purpose.All of the platforms - AirBNB,VRBO, etc - collect this tax on the host's behalf and send it to the City.As a tax pro, I have probably 20 clients who have short term rentals in Denver and things are just seamless. 

I actually make my VRBO fees a little higher because when I started VRBO would not take out and pay local taxes so I had to get a tax license for the sole purpose of paying the lodging/sales tax. 

I add in travel costs, lodging costs, etc.
