SB116 Property Tax Bill


⚠️ HEARING MARCH 10: Senate Finance Committee review pending. COSTRA strongly opposes this bill.

The Impact: Restricts local lodging taxes and forces income-assessed lodging to include net revenues & resort fees in tax valuations.

Our Stance: This adds unfair strain to a vital tourism economy. We urge a NO vote in committee.
