Commissioner of the Revenue’s office seeks public hearing Nov. 17 on transient-occupancy tax ordinance update
Summary
A staffer for the Commissioner of the Revenue presented proposed ordinance language to align King William with state forms and a sample ordinance for short-term rental intermediaries; the board set the ordinance for public advertising and a Nov. 17 public hearing.
A county staff member standing in for the Commissioner of the Revenue summarized proposed amendments to King William County’s transient-occupancy tax ordinance and asked the board to set the item for public advertising and a Nov. 17 public hearing.
The presenter said the amendments would align the locality with a state transient-occupancy tax return and a sample ordinance developed by the Commissioner of the Revenue Association and the Virginia Association of Counties to create uniform practice for intermediaries such as Airbnb and VRBO. He noted that the county has 15 short-term rental providers, only two of which regularly remit taxes directly; intermediaries collect and remit on behalf of most providers.
Through August 2025, the presenter said transient-occupancy receipts to the county totaled $17,755, with $12,772 collected through intermediaries. The board voted to set the ordinance for public notice and a Nov. 17 hearing, and the presenter indicated Commissioner Karina Funkhouser will make the full presentation on that date.
