Harrington can add tax for lodging guests

The law lets Harrington's City Council impose and collect a lodging tax capped at 3% of room rent. It covers hotels, motels, and tourist homes within city boundaries, as defined by state law. The city tax is added to the state lodging tax. The law does not itself impose the tax; it applies only if the council adopts an ordinance imposing it.
