When can an existing hotel/motel tax rate be changed or repealed?

Lodging

After the 1-year period expires, the tax can be changed or repealed on one of two annual dates: December 31 or June 30. The Department must be given 45 days notice of the change or repeal of the tax in an existing jurisdiction.

This means an election to change or repeal the tax in an existing jurisdiction must be held on or before November 13 or May 13.

Regardless of the election date, the county auditor must notify the Director of the Department within 10 days of the election if the tax is changed or repealed in an existing jurisdiction.
