Summary of the Hotel/Motel Tax Proposal for City Council
The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce and the Atlantic Parks & Recreation Department are together asking for the city
council to approve a special election for the adoption of the hotel / motel tax in Atlantic, Iowa.
When is the election?
If the council approves it for the ballot, the special election would be on Tuesday, March 2, 2010.
How can we use the tax revenue?
Code of Iowa 423A states that “at least 50 percent of the revenue needs to be used for recreation, convention, cultural or
entertainment facilities, including, but not limited to, memorial buildings, halls and monuments, civic centers, convention
buildings, auditoriums, coliseums, and parking areas or facilities located at those recreation, convention, cultural or
entertainment facilities. Eligible uses also include the payment of principal and interest on debt issued by the county or city for
recreation, convention, cultural or entertainment facilities, or promoting tourist and convention business in the city or county
and surrounding areas. The remaining revenues may be spent by the city or county that levies the tax for any city or county
operations authorized by law. Some examples of uses for hotel/motel tax are for the operations of a convention and
visitors bureau or a local chamber of commerce to promote tourism and convention business. Recreational uses,
such as trails, golf courses or other facilities are also common.”
What would the money be used for in Atlantic?
75% of the revenue will be used to create the Atlantic Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Part-time employee to work on conferences, special events, festivals
Works on tourism development and marketing
Works in conjunction with the Chamber and meeting facilities
25% of the revenue would be assigned to the Atlantic Parks & Recreation Department.
Supplements their current budget for repairs, maintenance, new equipment, trail development, etc.
What would the total tax on a room be?
The total tax would be 12%. A state excise tax is currently collected, which is 5%. The hotel /motel tax would be in addition
to that at a rate of 7%, for a total of 12%. (No LOST is collected on hotel rooms.)
Example: $80 room fee $32 room fee
$4 state excise tax $1.60 state excise tax
$5.60 hotel / motel tax $2.24 hotel / motel tax
$89.60 Total $35.84 Total
Who else has hotel/motel tax in Iowa?
125 cities and 14 counties have the tax in Iowa. This packet includes the current list (as of 1/1/2010) of cities and counties
with hotel/motel tax, as well as a map of those cities and counties.
When would it go into effect?
If the vote on March 2, 1010 is yes, the tax goes into effect on July 1, 2010.

Iowa Hotel and Motel Tax Questions and Answers
From the Iowa Department of Revenue
How does the state sales tax rate increase to 6 percent on July 1, 2008, affect hotels, motels, and similar businesses?
• The state rate for hotel and motel lodging remains at 5 percent.
• The hotel/motel tax, if any, still applies.
• The local option tax (LOST) does not apply, whether or not the rental is subject to hotel/motel tax.
• All hotels, motels, and similar establishments will complete an additional schedule when filing their returns.
• The first return affected was the July - September 2008 quarterly return, which was due the end of October.
Also effective July 1, 2008:
Room rentals that are exempt from the 5 percent state excise tax are also exempt from local hotel/motel tax. This means, for
example, that hotel/motel tax no longer applies to rooms rented directly to Iowa public or private nonprofit schools or Iowa
state and local government units. Rooms rented directly to the federal government continue to be exempt.
Collecting Tax
Q. What is the hotel/motel tax rate?
The hotel/motel tax rate cannot exceed 7 percent and must be imposed in increments of one or more full percentage points.
Q. Is the state tax rate charged?
Yes. The hotel/motel tax is in addition to the 5 percent state excise tax on room rental. Sales other than room rental are
subject to the 6 percent state sales tax rate and local option sales tax, if any.
Q. Is the local option tax charged?
No. Room rental is not subject to local option tax, whether or not the rental is subject to hotel/motel tax.
Q. Who is required to collect the hotel/motel tax?
When a tax is imposed by a city, it applies only to those hotels and motels located within the corporate boundaries of that city.
When a county imposes the tax, it applies only to those hotels and motels outside the incorporated areas within the county.
Q. What sales are taxed?
The hotel/motel tax is imposed on the gross receipts from the renting of any and all rooms apartments, or sleeping quarters in
any hotel, motel, inn, public lodging house, rooming house, tourist court, bed-and-breakfast or in any place where sleeping
accommodations are furnished to transient guests ...when contracted for periods of 31 consecutive days or less. Contracts for
periods of more than 31 consecutive days are exempt. To qualify, the renter must contract to rent for a single period of more
than 31 days and cannot accumulate these days. The tax base must include the entire cost related to the rental of the room. If a
person is charged for other items when renting a room, the charges must be stated separately or the entire amount will be
subject to the hotel/motel tax.

423A.4 LOCALLY IMPOSED HOTEL AND MOTEL TAX.
1. A city or county may impose by ordinance of the city council
or by resolution of the board of supervisors a hotel and motel tax,
at a rate not to exceed seven percent, which shall be imposed in
increments of one or more full percentage points upon the sales price
from the renting of lodging. The tax when imposed by a city shall
apply only within the corporate boundaries of that city and when
imposed by a county shall apply only outside incorporated areas
within that county.
2. Within ten days of the election at which a majority of those
voting on the question favors the imposition, repeal, or change in
the rate of the hotel and motel tax, the county auditor shall give
written notice by sending a copy of the abstract of votes from the
favorable election to the director of revenue.
3. A local hotel and motel tax shall be imposed on January 1 or

tax shall not be repealed or reduced in rate if obligations are
outstanding which are payable as provided in section 423A.7, unless
funds sufficient to pay the principal, interest, and premium, if any,
on the outstanding obligations at and prior to maturity have been
properly set aside and pledged for that purpose.
b. If the tax applies only within the corporate boundaries of
a city, only the registered voters of the city shall be permitted to
vote. The election shall be held at the time of the regular city
election or at a special election called for that purpose. If the

423A.6 ADMINISTRATION BY DIRECTOR.
The director of revenue shall administer the state and local hotel
and motel tax as nearly as possible in conjunction with the
administration of the state sales tax law, except that portion of the
law which implements the streamlined sales and use tax agreement.
The director shall provide appropriate forms, or provide on the
regular state tax forms, for reporting state and local hotel and
motel tax liability. All moneys received or refunded one hundred
eighty days after the date on which a city or county terminates its
local hotel and motel tax and all moneys received from the state
hotel and motel tax shall be deposited in or withdrawn from the
general fund of the state.
The director, in consultation with local officials, shall collect
and account for a local hotel and motel tax and shall credit all
revenues to the local transient guest tax fund created in section
423A.7. Local authorities shall not require any tax permit not
required by the director of revenue.
Section 422.25, subsection 4, sections 422.30, 422.67, and 422.68,
section 422.69, subsection 1, sections 422.70, 422.71, 422.72,

423.42, and 423.47, consistent with the provisions of this chapter,
apply with respect to the taxes authorized under this chapter, in the
same manner and with the same effect as if the state and local hotel
and motel taxes were retail sales taxes within the meaning of those
statutes. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the director shall provide
for quarterly filing of returns and for other than quarterly filing
of returns both as prescribed in section 423.31. The director may
require all persons who are engaged in the business of deriving any
16
sales price subject to tax under this chapter to register with the
department. All taxes collected under this chapter by a retailer or
any individual are deemed to be held in trust for the state of Iowa
and the local jurisdictions imposing the taxes.

423A.7 LOCAL TRANSIENT GUEST TAX FUND.
1. A local transient guest tax fund is created in the department
which shall consist of all moneys credited to such fund under section
423A.6.
2. All moneys in the local transient guest tax fund shall be
remitted at least quarterly by the department, pursuant to rules of
the director of revenue, to each city in the amount collected from
businesses in that city and to each county in the amount collected
from businesses in the unincorporated areas of the county.
3. Moneys received by the city from this fund shall be credited
to the general fund of the city, subject to the provisions of
subsection 4.
4. The revenue derived from any local hotel and motel tax
authorized by section 423A.4 shall be used as follows:
a. Each county or city which levies the tax shall spend at
least fifty percent of the revenues derived therefrom for the
acquisition of sites for, or constructing, improving, enlarging,
equipping, repairing, operating, or maintaining of recreation,
convention, cultural, or entertainment facilities including but not
limited to memorial buildings, halls and monuments, civic center
convention buildings, auditoriums, coliseums, and parking areas or
facilities located at those recreation, convention, cultural, or
entertainment facilities or the payment of principal and interest,
when due, on bonds or other evidence of indebtedness issued by the
county or city for those recreation, convention, cultural, or
entertainment facilities; or for the promotion and encouragement of
tourist and convention business in the city or county and surrounding
areas.
b. The remaining revenues may be spent by the city or county
which levies the tax for any city or county operations authorized by
law as a proper purpose for the expenditure within statutory
limitations of city or county revenues derived from ad valorem taxes.
c. Any city or county which levies and collects the local
hotel and motel tax authorized by section 423A.4 may pledge
irrevocably an amount of the revenues derived therefrom for each of
the years the bonds remain outstanding to the payment of bonds which
the city or county may issue for one or more of the purposes set
forth in paragraph "a". Any revenue pledged to the payment of
such bonds may be credited to the spending requirement of paragraph
"a".
d. The provisions of chapter 384, division III, relating to
the issuance of corporate purpose bonds, apply to the issuance by a
city of bonds payable as provided in this section and the provisions
of chapter 331, division IV, part 3, relating to the issuance of
county purpose bonds, apply to the issuance by a county of bonds
payable as provided in this section. The provisions of chapter 76
apply to the bonds payable as provided in this section except that
the mandatory levy to be assessed pursuant to section 76.2 shall be
17
at a rate to generate an amount which together with the receipts from
the pledged portion of the local hotel and motel tax is sufficient to
pay the interest and principal on the bonds. All amounts collected
as a result of the levy assessed pursuant to section 76.2 and paid
out in the first instance for bond principal and interest shall be
repaid to the city or county which levied the tax from the first
available local hotel and motel tax collections received in excess of
the requirement for the payment of the principal and interest of the
bonds and when repaid shall be applied in reduction of property
taxes.
The amount of bonds which may be issued under section 76.3 shall
be the amount which could be retired from the actual collections of
the local hotel and motel tax for the last four calendar quarters, as
certified by the director of revenue. The amount of tax revenues
pledged jointly by other cities or counties may be considered for the
purpose of determining the amount of bonds which may be issued. If
the local hotel and motel tax has been in effect for less than four
calendar quarters, the tax collected within the shorter period may be
adjusted to project the collections for the full year for the purpose
of determining the amount of the bonds which may be issued.
e. A city or county, jointly with one or more other cities or
counties as provided in chapter 28E, may pledge irrevocably any
amount derived from the revenues of the local hotel and motel tax to
the support or payment of bonds issued for a project within the
purposes set forth in paragraph "a" and located within one or
more of the participatory cities or counties or may apply the
proceeds of its bonds to the support of any such project. Revenue so
pledged or applied shall be credited to the spending requirement of
paragraph "a".
f. A city or county acting on behalf of an unincorporated
area may, in lieu of calling an election, institute proceedings for
the issuance of bonds under this section by causing a notice of the
proposal to issue the bonds, including a statement of the amount and
purpose of the bonds, together with the maximum rate of interest
which the bonds are to bear, and the right to petition for an
election, to be published at least once in a newspaper of general
circulation within the city or unincorporated area at least ten days
prior to the meeting at which it is proposed to take action for the
issuance of the bonds.
If at any time before the date fixed for taking action for the
issuance of the bonds a petition signed by eligible electors residing
in the city or the unincorporated area equal in number to at least
three percent of the registered voters of the city or unincorporated
area is filed, asking that the question of issuing the bonds be
submitted to the registered voters of the city or unincorporated
area, the council or board of supervisors acting on behalf of an
unincorporated area shall either by resolution declare the proposal
to issue the bonds to have been abandoned or shall direct the county
commissioner of elections to call a special election upon the
question of issuing the bonds.
The proposition of issuing bonds under this section is not
approved unless the vote in favor of the proposition is equal to a
majority of the vote cast.
If no petition is filed, or if a petition is filed and the
proposition of issuing the bonds is approved at an election, the
council or board of supervisors acting on behalf of an unincorporated
area may proceed with the authorization and issuance of the bonds.
Bonds may be issued for the purpose of refunding outstanding and
previously issued bonds under this section without otherwise
complying with this paragraph.
