Citrus Tourist Tax Public Workshop Cancelled
Pet Patrol
The public workshop hosted by the Tourist Development Council originally sched-
uled for Wednesday, November 5 has been cancelled. Citizens are encouraged to attend the
workshop on Wednesday, December 3 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Central Ridge Library,
located at 425 W. Roosevelt Blvd. in Beverly Hills.
The Tourist Development Tax (TDT) is a local option tax levied by Citrus Coun-
ty at a current rate of 3 %. This tax is levied on all short-term residential rental charges,
which includes all residential rentals for a period of six months or less. Examples would be
an apartment, bed & breakfast, campground/RV park, condo, cottage, hotel/motel, mobile
home park, rooming house, or single family dwelling.
Staff will be addressing issues of how to collect and remit the required tax, what
are the penalties for non-payment of the tax, and the potential use of the projected revenue
from the tax. If you have any questions, please feel free to send an email to adam.thomas@
visitcitrus.com or call 352-628-9305.
