What Is The Transient Room
Tax?
It is a tax collected by the hotel-motel
operator from the people that rent
rooms. It is not paid by the motel
owner or local citizens.
Why Is The Chamber
Important?
We are watching the decline of
agriculture and timber dependent
communities. It is imperative that
we all pull together to maintain the
quality of life we enjoy and to
have a viable community with
good jobs, schools, health care
and stable property values.

The room tax will generate approx
imately $5000 annually. The motel
operator will retain 10% to cover the
cost o f collecting the tax, the city will
retain 10% for administration and the
balance will go to the Chamber of
Commerce.
No Cost
To Taxpayers
What Does The Chamber O f
Commerce Do?
It promotes and supports such ac
tivities as:
• St. Patrick’s Weekend
Tourism Promotion
Economic Development
Morrow County Fair & Rodeo
Community Development
St. Patrick’s Senior Center
Cycle Oregon
Why Should We Vote to Re
tain The Room Tax?
When you travel to another communi
ty you pay a room tax to support
Chamber o f Commerce and tourism
related activities in that community.
We need to do the same thing to boost
economic activity and meet expecta
tions for our town.
THE COMMUNITY NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
