What happened?
The Board
authorized a public hearing to consider adopting a 4% Admissions Tax.
What is this?
Admissions tax can be used on the sale of movies, theater, and concert tickets. Charitable events such as school plays are excluded.
Why?
This is a routine action to collect resident input prior to Board action. It is not a final vote to include in the FY2021 budget. Considering the coronavirus situation, next year's budget will look very different from the County Executive's original proposal.
When can I give feedback?
The Board is now collecting feedback on this proposed tax. You can sign up to speak at a public hearing
here
or, as always, email me. More information about the admissions tax can be found
