2% Lodging Tax Increase?
Yes? or No?
Oct 2024
On the November ballot, voters are being asked to vote yes or no to a 2% increase in Johnson County Lodging Tax, bumping the rate from 5% to 7%.
Lodging Tax revenue funds the Johnson County Tourism Association, the organization tasked with promoting Johnson County and attracting visitors to come, stay & play in our community. This is an important role as many of our local businesses depend on visitors and tourists to keep thriving.
The 2% increase applies to lodging only, solely for people staying overnight in one of our local hotels, motels, campgrounds, or short-term rentals. For example: on a nightly room rate of $100, the lodging tax would increase from $5 to $7. (Note: example excludes additional local/state taxes)
Toby Carrig, Marketing Director of JCTA explains the proposal, how it compares to other parts of Wyoming, and who would benefit from the additional revenue.
