Pros

  • Taking care of monthly tax filings can feel like a burden and nuisance - especially as you scale.  Avalara taxes get it off your plate so you can focus on other things.
  • Assistance with licensing, permits, and renewals is another task most STR professionals don't relish and will happily pass off to Avalara.
  • Avalara can handle the tax issues surrounding tax payments made on your behalf by OTAs.

Cons

  • Avalara does not integrate with property management software.  You will still need to log into the online travel agencies or your PMS, export your revenue data, and import it into MyLodgeTax platform.
