How to submit Private Employer Affidavit STR – Henry County, GA

Common mistakes to avoid

• Letting the application lapse: all applications expire 60 days after submission, and fees are assessed when you submit.
• Leaving out the copy of the owner's driver's license or the local emergency contact's driver's license.
• Skipping the notary on the affidavit; the Tax Commissioner's page lists page 2 of the application as notarized.
• Marking both citizen and qualified alien boxes on the Legal Status Affidavit instead of one, or omitting the Alien Registration Card copy and number under option 2.
• Filling in the federal work authorization number and date when you selected 1(b); Section 2 is for employers who selected 1(a).
• Not notifying properties within 300 feet of the rental, or not giving them the local contact information.
• Renting before the Due Diligence meeting with the Building Department, which the form requires prior to renting.
• Missing the monthly Hotel/Motel excise tax due before the 20th of the following month; the STR license can be suspended.
• Omitting the HOA letter for a property in a subdivision, or the Building Inspector's signed affidavit and state license copy.
