Board to send home-rule request to extend hotel occupancy tax authorization
Summary
Staff said the village's home-rule authorization to collect occupancy tax from two hotels, granted in 2017, is expiring; trustees agreed staff will send home-rule legislation to the state to extend the authorization and discussed separately the possibility of applying occupancy tax to short-term rentals.
Staff explained that a 2017 home-rule authorization permitting the village to collect occupancy tax from two hotels is expiring and that the standard process is to send a home-rule request to the state legislature to extend the authorization for another period. A staff member said he would send the home-rule legislation to the state on the village's behalf and trustees indicated they would consider whether to pursue occupancy-tax authority for short-term rentals in a separate action. The extension itself requires state action; trustees placed the item on the agenda for tonight's meeting for next steps.
