b. Tourist Development Tax Overview

Tourist Development Council · 2026-06-23 · agenda_item

The Sumter County Tourist Development Council has voted to establish a countywide tourist development tax. This tax is intended to direct funds towards capital projects, though the Council may recommend other allowable uses in their tourism plan. The County Attorney confirmed that the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) would ultimately approve the plan. This item is currently under review as the plan is developed and awaits BOCC approval. The establishment of this tax could lead to future capital projects, potentially involving site preparation, construction, and related trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor future developments and engage early as project details emerge to understand potential opportunities.
