Extra resort tax for housing in resort towns

Resort communities and areas can add up to 1% to the local resort tax, on top of the base cap of up to 3%. The extra money must pay for infrastructure, including workforce and community housing. Only communities set up before January 1, 2025 can use the extra 1% if they now exceed the population limit. The tax applies to lodging, restaurant meals, alcoholic drinks served in bars, and destination recreation; it does not apply to groceries or medicines. The law is in effect now, and it only applies where local voters or leaders adopt it.
