The main thing is, since you must have a business license in the state & now must list you Tax # on any advertising, those that are not, would not be in compliance with the state law, as it stands today, so ANY accommodations listing that does not list the tax# today is in non-compliance. If the OP is correct in their check of websites is correct, then there are a lot of rooms offered that are not in compliance.
I would also point out, anyone running a rental establishment without notifying their insurance carrier has the potential of getting a very expensive lesson down the road.... That business plan has wiped out many who thought they could get around regulations. Just one claim can spell financial ruin to a property owner!
