Lodging Tax Grants

Overview

The city has $25,000 in lodging tax funds available to qualified applicants for projects and events that promote tourism in 2023. Lodging tax funds come from the taxes collected from Studio 6 Hotel, 6017 244th Street SW, the only lodging facility in city limits. 

Lodging tax funds must be used for marketing or operation of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists. They may also support the operations of tourism-related facilities owned or operated by nonprofit organizations according to law. 

Programs or events should have the potential to increase overnight visits to the city's hotel and/or create a positive economic impact. These funds have helped support events such as 3rd of July Fireworks Show, Arts of the Terrace and Tour de Terrace.

All events must adhere to laws and regulations, from the city, state and public health agencies.
