Short Term Rental Tax Information
Short Term Rental Tax Information
On December 28, 2018, Governor Baker signed into law a bill regulating and taxing short-term rentals of homes and condos. A short-term rental is defined as a rental period of 31 days or less. Annual and long-term (32 days or more) are excluded from this tax. We are currently working on updating the language and charges in our leases and on our website in order to be in compliance with this new law. However, many aspects are still undetermined and may change in the next six months. In order to help you understand this new law and to help you comply with the new regulations we have compiled a list of questions about the new regulations and taxes on a page dedicated to this.
For more in depth information please visit our page: Massachusetts Short Term Rental Tax Information
If you would like to read the new bill in its entirety, Session Law – Acts of 2018 Chapter 337.
We will continue to update you as we learn more and receive guidance from the Towns, Commonwealth, and Department of Revenue, but in the meantime please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
The Hopper Real Estate / Outer Cape Team
15th Annual Eastham Turnip Festival
Per the Eastham Public Library:
… in a town called Eastham, not so very far away ~ just a mere rabbit’s hop and frog’s leap heading eastward down Route 6 ~ a quirky, homespun harvest celebration sprouted at the end of the 2003 growing season. The Eastham Turnip Festival sent forth deep roots, the roots held fast, and a turnip tradition blossomed. News of this Turnip Extravaganza spread from the Nickerson turnip fields to all with a hankering for an especially mild and sweet vegetable treat. And here we are in our 15th year …
Join turnip fans on Saturday November 17th to pay homage to the hometown favorite of all root vegetables ~ the Eastham Turnip! You’ll soon discover what the turnip buzz is all about!
This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Eastham Library along with Seamen’s Bank, Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank and the Eastham Cultural Council.

Have a Safe & Happy Halloween!

Is it too early to think Spring? According to the Groundhog we still have a while until Spring. New Year flew by. So did January. Now comes the month of February. It’s still cold out but the hearts are still warm. The Valentine hearts! You can always take a bite out of a chocolate heart. Speaking of chocolates, did you hear that the Chocolate Café has bought the old Nauset Market located at the corner of Railroad Ave and Route 6, just down from our office here in Eastham, MA? The windows are now all papered up and they are moving in and doing work on it to get it ready for the coming summer season. The word is besides the wonderful chocolate and confectionary delights there will be breakfast sandwiches and other tasty treats! Now who doesn’t love good food within walking distance of your office. We’re excited to see what they offer and will update you as the opening nears. I’d plan on stopping by on the way to our office this summer, you may just be surprised about what they have in store for you.
