HB 231 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes a transient guest tax in Harrisonville upon voter approval

HB 231 would allow Harrisonville (a city meeting specific population criteria) to impose a 6% tax on hotel and motel stays for transient guests (those staying 31 days or less per quarter), but only if voters approve it in an election. The tax must be listed separately on bills and cannot be added to existing taxes. It requires a majority "yes" vote in a local election to take effect, with the tax starting the second quarter after the election. This bill directly affects Harrisonville residents (through the voter approval process) and hotels/motels operating in the city.
