Under Revere, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 8 09 § 8.09.070, any residential unit that falls within the short-term rental regulatory framework is required to pay both the local excise tax and any community impact fee that the city council has authorized under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 64G, Sections 3A and 3D. These charges are tied to the operation of short-term rentals and are set at the municipal level through formal council approval. The provision establishes that financial obligations beyond standard registration requirements apply to covered units.

Operators of short-term rental units in Revere should be aware that § 8.09.070 imposes excise tax and community impact fee obligations on every covered residential unit, as authorized by the city council under M.G.L. Chapter 64G. Compliant operators generally track the current rates approved by the council, collect or remit the applicable amounts, and maintain records demonstrating that all required payments have been made. Staying current with any council amendments to these fees is a routine part of operating a lawful short-term rental in Revere.

Section § 8.09.070 of Revere's short-term rental bylaws establishes that hosts of short-term rental units bear the responsibility for paying local excise taxes and community impact fees, not guests. Tenants or guests who believe a host is improperly passing these charges along in a way that conflicts with the ordinance may wish to review the city's short-term rental rules or contact the City of Revere directly for clarification. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Massachusetts housing law can also help explain how these financial obligations are allocated under M.G.L. Chapter 64G.
