Later cutoff for Shelby County hotel tax

The law replaces Shelby County’s hotel tax cutoff tied to paying off specified bonds. The tax ends at the later of June 30, 2050, or the NBA franchise’s departure as an indoor sports facility tenant. It therefore cannot end before June 30, 2050, and continues beyond that date while the franchise remains a tenant. These changes require two-thirds approval by the county legislative body, with the decision proclaimed and certified to the Secretary of State.

Shelby County hotel tax spending rules change

Once the NBA franchise leaves as an indoor sports facility tenant, 61.25% of hotel tax revenue goes to the Convention and Visitors Bureau and 38.75% to Shelby County. The County can use its share for any purpose allowed by the act. The law also removes ticket shortfalls from one revenue-use rule. Remaining Auditorium Fund money no longer must enter the specified restricted trust after all obligations are fulfilled; no new destination is named. These changes take effect upon two-thirds approval by the county legislative body.
