Statewide Lodging Tax Becomes Law
A bill creating a statewide lodging tax was signed into law Friday by Gov. Mark Gordon, clearing the way for the tax to take effect Jan. 1.
House Bill 134 will impose a statewide 5 percent tax on the cost of hotel and motel rooms, with money raised by 3 percent of the tax, about $13 million a year, to be used by the state Office of Tourism to promote tourism in Wyoming.
Income from the remaining 2 percent will go to the state’s counties, where an additional 2 percent lodging tax could be imposed with voter approval.
Also signed into law on Friday was House Bill 5, which authorizes digital driver’s licenses.
