City of Jackson; extend repealer on CVB, and authorize additional 1% hotel/motel tax and 1/2% restaurant tax.

Jackson extends and adds visitor taxes

Jackson’s existing 1% visitor tax authority continues through July 1, 2030, instead of ending July 1, 2026. The city can add 1% to hotel and motel room charges and 0.5% to restaurant sales after adopting a resolution and receiving approval from at least 60% of voters who vote. The added taxes cover transient lodging with more than 10 rental units and restaurants with at least $100,000 in prior-year sales or income; commonly controlled locations are combined, and qualifying tax-exempt charities are excluded. Customers may pay more when businesses pass the taxes on.
