HB 610 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

TAX: Provides relative to short-term rentals of overnight lodging in the city of New Orleans (EN NO IMPACT LF RV See Note)

HB 610 modifies existing tax provisions for short-term rental lodging in New Orleans by removing specific statutory language from Louisiana Revised Statute 47:338.221(A)(1). The bill deletes references to the city's governing authority and certain procedural language, effectively streamlining how the city administers taxes on overnight rentals without creating new requirements or fiscal impacts. This procedural adjustment directly affects New Orleans' ability to manage short-term rental tax collection under current law. The bill passed committee with amendments (12-2) and is now advancing to its third reading in the legislature.

Senate Floor Bureau Note, #2611, Bouie, Adopted HB610 Act · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill was finalized and enacted as Act No. 387, removing previous committee amendments to establish a new, standalone requirement for online short-term rental platforms. The core change mandates that platforms renting properties in New Orleans must provide renters with a detailed line-by-line itemization of all fees and taxes on their final bills and websites, effective January 1, 2026.
Scope change
The bill's scope was refined to focus exclusively on the City of New Orleans and the specific requirement for online platforms to itemize taxes, rather than the broader amendments previously proposed by the Senate Committee.
REQUIREMENT

New requirement added for online platforms to provide a line-by-line itemization of all assessments, fees, and taxes to renters of short-term lodging in New Orleans.

Platforms must display the required tax itemization information on their websites and on the final bill issued to the party.

TECHNICAL

Previous Senate Committee amendments regarding the deletion of existing law sections and changes to the bill's introductory text were removed.
