A:
In Ohio, hotel stays of 30 consecutive days or more may qualify for a tax exemption on lodging taxes. Since you have been staying at the hotel for 34 consecutive days, you might be eligible for a refund on the taxes you have paid.
You should first check with the hotel management to confirm their policy on long-term stays and tax exemptions. Sometimes, hotels require you to notify them in advance about extended stays to apply the tax exemption correctly.
If the hotel confirms that you qualify for the exemption, request a refund for the taxes paid during your stay. You may need to provide documentation of your continuous stay, such as receipts or a detailed bill. If you encounter any issues, consider reaching out to the local tax authority for further assistance.
