New local lodging tax in Harrington

If enacted, the City Council of Harrington would be able to impose and collect a lodging tax up to 3% of the rent for any room in a hotel, motel, or tourist home inside the city. Any city lodging tax would be in addition to the State lodging tax under Chapter 61 of Title 30. The bill would only authorize the city to set the tax; it would not require the city to adopt it. The act would take effect retroactively on March 4, 2024, and the city's ordinance adopted that day would not apply to reservations or lodging contracts made or completed before that date.
