TOURISM WORKS FOR US: The history of room tax in Door County…
Why and When…In May of 2007 the Door County Tourism Zone Commission was established out of the hard work from a group of concerned citizens. Studies showed that Door County was losing its market share to other locations in the state; the only way for Door County to remain a sought after destination was to generate money for a broader marketing campaign. The Door County economy has benefited from those efforts with improved national and regional exposure as a result of the establishment of room tax in Door County.
TOURISM WORKS FOR US: What is room tax and who has to pay it?
For the privilege of occupancy in any lodging facilities, each transient is subject to and pays a tax in the amount of 5.5% of the rent charged by each lodging provider. Lodging facilities come in many forms and must be permitted for transient rental. Common examples include: Hotels, motels, B&B’S, cabins, cottages, lodges, homes, condos or rental rooms. This is not an all-inclusive list. The Door County Tourism Zone evaluates new forms of lodging for permitting requirements as types of lodging continue to develop and change.
