Local lodging taxes fund housing and communities

Beginning July 27, 2025, qualifying cities and counties must use specified public facilities district lodging-tax payments for affordable housing and community-led development. The city rule covers convention and trade center districts in counties with at least 1.5 million people. A city must have authorized a short-term rental operator tax by December 31, 2017, repealed it, and not imposed it again. County funds must come from the tax imposed under chapter 245, Laws of 2018. When a qualifying city repeals its operator tax, county payments are calculated after subtracting payments to that city. Community-led development means building community capacity and funding projects chosen and guided by communities facing long-term social and economic hardship. These rules end July 1, 2035.
