Subject: EXTERNAL Hotel Tax 100% increase up coming vote
Mayor and City Council Members,
Please vote no on any hotel nightly tax increase. This tax increase is 4-9% of our nightly rate or 4-9% of our revenue at
our RV Park. The affordable hotels are also against this tax increase. This is a 100% increase from $2 to $4. It was $1 a few
years ago ..... Help please we will not be able to stay open. Please allow RV parks to quit this tourism requirement?
The State of Montana taxes us at 8% + tourism tax of $4 is a 12-19% tax..........
Please help your only RV Park in town . No other businesses are taxed like this..... help . Our board is out of its mind and
control with its budget. They must have 100% vote for tax hikes like this. Others do not want this either.....,, This tax is
almost as much as my property taxes..,,,
Please Help us
