The lodging tax is collected by the City of Grants Pass. The tax is assessed on hotel or motel stays for a period of 27 days or less. Every operator renting space for lodging or sleeping purposes shall collect a tax from the individual renting the room, campsite, or suite. An operator for each hotel, motel, campsite, or vacation rental home in the City, shall register within 15 days after beginning business using the lodging tax registration form (PDF).
The rate of the tax is 12% of the taxable rents collected for each quarter and the operator of the establishment may withhold 5% of the tax collected to cover the cost of collecting and remitting the tax to the city. For reporting, you may use the lodging tax return (PDF).
