bed tax

A new fund for improvements, renovations, repairs, maintenance, and construction of sports facilities for major league sports teams in Cleveland is set to go before Cuyahoga County Council for consideration next week.

Cuyahoga County will consider an increase to a local tax, but don’t worry, it’s not for locals. A one percent hotel bed tax increase is on the county council agenda for Tuesday. County officials estimate it will generate an additional $4.6 million per year, which will go to operations and maintenance of the Huntington Convention Center. If the proposal passes, the bed tax increase would go into effect Jan. 1, 2020.
