Authorizes the town of Montgomery to impose a hotel and motel tax; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
This bill authorizes the town of Montgomery to impose a 5% tax on hotel and motel room rentals for temporary stays (excluding permanent residents staying 90+ days and exempt entities like government bodies or qualifying nonprofits). Hotels would collect the tax from guests and remit it to Montgomery, with revenues deposited into the town’s general fund for any lawful use. The tax expires automatically two years after enactment, as specified in Section 2 of the bill. It directly affects short-term visitors and hotel operators within Montgomery.
