Transient Guest Tax percentage raised
Only one item was on Tuesday’ s Mitchell County Commissioners meeting, being the Transient Guest Tax otherwise known as the Bed Tax. Kent Miller, Janet Remus, and Lucille Heller represented the Mitchell County Tourism group. Miller said, “ We would like to request an increase in the Transient Guest Tax from two percent to four percent. I have done some checking and Mitchell County has by far the lowest precent rate in our area.”
