Can I Airbnb in Oklahoma City, OK? (2026)
Oklahoma City allows short-term rentals ("home sharing") citywide in residential zones but requires an annual Home Sharing License ($120/year as of July 1, 2026) and, since Feb. 16, 2025, caps rentals at 10 nights per month and 16 occupants unless the host obtains a $1,100 special exception from the Board of Adjustment. A special exception is required whenever the dwelling is not the host's primary residence or sits in a Historic Preservation district, and special-exception STRs cannot exceed 10% of homes on a platted block. Guests pay a 9.25% city hotel tax (on rentals of two or more bedrooms) plus 4.5% state and 4.125% city sales tax.
What’s required: a Home Sharing License ($120) is required; occupancy taxes apply; renew annual.
