Staff proposes transient-lodging reporting form, notes 9% tax obligation
Summary
Staff proposed a transient-lodging automation form, saying businesses are required to collect a 9% transient lodging tax and post a local business license; staff discussed retroactive reporting to Jan. 1, 2026 and how records would be kept.
Staff described a transient-lodging reporting or automation form intended to give the town a consistent record for transient-lodging collections and to ensure businesses post a local business license. The proposal included applying the system retroactively to Jan. 1, 2026; staff said businesses are required to collect a 9% transient lodging tax and display a local business license.
Board members asked whether the information would be returned to the town, whether a fee would apply and how dates for tax and road payments would be highlighted for businesses. Staff said there would be no fee and that the form largely mirrors the town's existing transient-lodging reporting format.
