Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Up to 1% more resort tax for housing

You pay up to a 3% resort tax on purchases in resort areas. Local voters or leaders can add up to 1% more. The extra 1% must fund infrastructure, including workforce and community housing. The tax applies to retail sales by listed establishments and does not apply to resale. A community that has grown past the population limit cannot add the 1% unless it was established before January 1, 2025.

Other bill's resort tax changes canceled

If both this law and Senate Bill 172 are enacted, some SB172 resort tax changes do not take effect. The SB172 sections that would amend 7-6-1504, 7-6-1541, and 7-6-1542 are void.
