  Lodging Tax Being Considered

Yellow Springs Village Council is currently considering whether to enact a local lodging tax that would cover all locations  offering accommodations to paid overnight guests, whether a hotel, traditional B&B or Airbnb. The tax would be a maximum of 3% and only impact locations within the Village of Yellow Springs.
 
Legislation on this matter is expected at the August 21 Council meeting. It will be an ordinance with two readings so there will be two opportunities to hear the discussion and weigh in, August 21 and September 5 (a Tuesday meeting because of Labor Day). All Village Council meetings begin at 7 pm and are held in Council Chambers on the 2nd floor of the Bryan Center.
