Council hears TOT reporting concerns; motion withdrawn for ordinance edits
Summary
Council held a public hearing on changes to the Transient Occupancy Tax ordinance focused on remittance statements and platform reporting; Councilmember Lisa Fiege later withdrew a motion to adopt the update so staff can edit the ordinance.
Town Manager Matt Spuck described reconciliation challenges with short-term rental platforms during a June 23 public hearing on the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). He told council that "the third-party agencies used by Airbnb and VRBO, to remit tax on transient (TOT) are not required to include a remittance statement," and described a recent state bill requiring platforms to create a portal to obtain individual information and a draft town requirement that rental agents provide annual attestations.
After discussion during the Council Action portion of the meeting, Councilmember Lisa Fiege moved to update the ordinance to reflect the 5.5% rate; Councilmember Cindy Holdren seconded. Councilmember Fiege later withdrew the motion to allow further edits to the ordinance; no final vote on adoption was taken.
