The proceeds from this tax currently represent approximately 2.9 percent of the total General Fund revenue.

FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25 hotel/motel tax revenues are projected at $4.3 million and $4.7 million. Two new hotels are expected to open in FY 2023/24. Partial year revenue is included in FY 2023/24, and full year of revenue is included in FY 2024/25. * Projected Business License Tax The City imposes a license tax on businesses that conduct activities in the City, whether have a physical location here or not.
