Seaside sues Shilo
for back taxes, again
By R.J. MARX
Seaside Signal
The Shilo Inn in Sea-
side owes the city more
than $45,000 in hotel room
taxes.
Seaside wants to collect
and has fi led suit in Circuit
Court. With penalties and
interest, the total sought is
more than $58,000.
According to the com-
plaint, Shilo Inn “continues
to withhold the payment of
these taxes, notwithstand-
ing numerous demands” by
the city.
The city also seeks rea-
sonable attorney’s fees.
This isn’t the fi rst time
Shilo Inn has fallen behind
on taxes.
In 2016, Seaside sued
the company for delin-
quent taxes of more than
$112,500. Shilo Inn paid
out almost $146,000 in back
taxes and penalties.
Earlier this year, Warren-
ton sued Shilo Inn after more
than $130,000 in lodging
taxes, penalties and accrued
interest went unpaid.
Representatives of Shilo
Inn did not respond to
requests for comment.
