Why is there a Hospitality Tax & Fee and how is it used?
The City adopted the Hospitality Tax & Fee in order to diversify its revenue sources and not place continuing burdens upon business and residents through the business license tax and property tax. The Hospitality Tax & Fee was identified as an equitable way for residents and visitors to the City to contribute to the cost of beach maintenance, roads, bridges, drainage, public parking, oceanfront access ways, recreational facilities, as well as expenditures associated with Public Safety.
What is the remittance process?
The fee (based on your monthly gross receipts) is to be remitted monthly by the 20th of the following month to the City Revenue Department with the appropriate reporting forms. A discount of 2% of the fee due is allowed if the remittance is made on or before the due date. A penalty of 5% of the unpaid balance per month for each month past due is imposed on late payments.
