Gig Harbor Seeks Volunteers For Lodging Tax Committee
The city is looking for someone who has worked in hospitality and who is familiar with the lodging tax to help decide how it's used.
GIG HARBOR, WA — The City of Gig Harbor is seeking volunteers to help decide how the local lodging tax is spent.
According to a recent release from the city, multiple spots are open on the Gig Harbor Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. The committee meets once a month, and helps City Council decide how to spend lodging taxes to prioritize tourism in the city.
Currently, 10 people sit on the committee, including Mayor Kit Kuhn. The only qualification a Gig Harbor resident needs to serve on the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee is a familiarity with how the lodging tax works, so applicants who have worked in businesses required to collect the lodging tax are preferred.
