Rate structure & calculation

No municipal visitor, occupancy, hotel, bed or overnight tax rate is currently applicable in Bamberg. The City of Bamberg states that Bavaria's amended Municipal Tax Act expressly prohibits municipalities from levying an Übernachtungsteuer; the current Bavarian statute likewise says that an Übernachtungsteuer may not be levied. Therefore, no EUR-per-person-per-night rate exists to extract. The City's 2023 resolution also states that Bamberg had not decided to introduce a bed tax.

Exemptions & reductions

Not applicable: because no Bamberg overnight tax may be levied, there is no municipal tax exemption or reduced-rate schedule for children, disabled guests, business travellers or other categories. The City's official accommodation information separately states that foreign guests must sign a special accommodation registration form on arrival.

Short-term rental & host rules

No current Bamberg tax-related registration number or host reporting duty was identified because no overnight tax is in force. Bamberg's official record states that its 2020 housing-misuse ordinance (Zweckentfremdungssatzung) was declared invalid by the Bavarian Administrative Court in 2022 and the decision became final in 2023. Separately, accommodation providers must have foreign guests sign the special accommodation registration form on arrival. The reviewed official Bamberg sources do not establish a current Bamberg-specific short-term-rental registration-number scheme.
