Supervisor: Granicus work has identified STRs and county has collected about $272,000 in occupancy taxes
Summary
Supervisor told the board the county's Granicus contract has identified unpermitted short‑term rentals and that Granicus has collected about $272,000 at the county level so far; the county is developing a distribution policy that may allocate funds by population and by STR counts per municipality.
Supervisor reported the county contracted with Granicus to identify short‑term rentals and determine whether they had been collecting occupancy tax. She said Granicus has collected "approximately $272,000" at the county level to date and that the town receives a monthly list of STRs for cross‑checking.
The Supervisor said the county is close to adopting a distribution policy modeled on sales tax distribution that would consider population and the number of STRs each municipality hosts. She said towns that contributed to the Granicus work are asking when distributions to municipalities will begin, and the county treasurer is expected to finalize the policy and distribution schedule.
