Sedgwick County Local Marketing District

Residents of Sedgwick County are allowed to vote on thes measure.

The Local Marketing District covers the entirety of Sedgwick County.

All lodging properties, including vacation rentals, in the Local Marketing District will collect the lodging tax from their guests.

Guests who stay overnight in Sedgwick County pay the lodging tax.  Residents DO NOT pay the lodging tax.

The Sedgwick County Local Marketing District is asking for a 2% lodging tax.

Sedgwick County will implement and provide oversight of the funds.  When a guest stays overnight, those funds are sent directly to the Colorado Department of Revenue.  The money is then passed to Sedgwick County.  The Sedgwick County Local Marketing District Board will accept applications from residents or businesses of Sedgwick County.  The Board will then review all applications and make decisions on which projects or events to fund.  They will then submit their recommendations to the Sedgwick County Commissioners for final approval.

This funding will not go to the Economic Development Office. When we talk about funds going to Economic Development they will be going to things like:

• New Businesses coming to OR Expanding Businesses in Sedgwick County
• Training
• Provide essential resources to our local businesses

Economic Development is an Investment in Sedgwick County’s future.
