Greenwood tourism taxes extended through 2029

The law extends Greenwood’s tourism tax authority and Tourism Commission from September 30, 2025, through September 30, 2029. It keeps authority for taxes up to 1% on room rentals at hotels and motels with at least 10 rooms. A separate tax of up to 1% covers prepared food and related beverage sales at restaurants and bars. Restaurants selling no alcohol are exempt if prior-year sales were under $100,000, counting related locations together. These taxes are added to customer bills where practical, and net revenue funds tourism and convention promotion.
