State asks jurisdictions to submit ordinances for review before changing transient guest tax rate
Summary
Staff told commissioners the Kansas Department of Revenue requests that local jurisdictions submit proposed ordinances or resolutions by email so the state review team can confirm alignment with transient guest tax statutes before any rate change.
County staff relayed guidance from the Kansas Department of Revenue instructing local jurisdictions that plan to implement a new transient guest tax rate or increase an existing rate to submit the proposed ordinance or resolution by email for state review.
The notice said the Department’s review team will confirm whether the language in a proposed ordinance or resolution aligns with the state’s transient guest tax statutes. County staff said the announcement formalizes a process county officials previously handled informally and that the aim is to have consistent language and compliance across jurisdictions.
The county will monitor Department of Revenue guidance and the Kansas Association of Counties (KAC) resources; staff invited commissioners to join a July 24 KAC session on public-health financing. No county ordinance or rate change was proposed or approved at the meeting.
