HB 5015

Abstract

Creates the Premier Resort Areas Act. Provides that the governing body of a municipality or county may enact an ordinance or adopt a resolution declaring itself (for a county, the unincorporated areas only) to be a premier resort area if at least 40% of the equalized assessed value of the taxable commercial property within the municipality or unincorporated areas of the county is used by tourism-related retailers. Authorizes a premier resort area to impose an occupation or service tax on tourism-related retailers at a rate of 0.5% of the gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property at retail or 0.5% of the gross receipts from the selling price of all tangible personal property transferred as an incident to a sale of service, as appropriate. Authorizes intergovernmental cooperation agreements between 2 or more premier resort areas.
