Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
The Okanogan County Lodging
Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) (members determined by RCW 67.28.1817) shall
advise the Board of County Commissioners on the appropriation of the annual
investment of lodging tax revenues which the county receives from businesses
that provide overnight transient lodging. LTAC membership is designated by
commissioner resolution (125-2014) and by individual appointment letters by the
Board of County Commissioners. LTAC membership include three representatives
from the hotel industry (collectors), three representatives of agencies that
qualify and use lodging tax (receivers), and is chaired by an elected member of
the Board of County Commissioners. One collector and one receiver each serve one
of the three Okanogan County Commissioner Districts. Persons who are both
collectors and receivers may not serve on the LTAC. The LTAC shall meet as often
as necessary, but no less than four times annually.
Currently, there are two open positions on the
committee; one position representing Commissioner District #3 (Oroville Tonasket
Area) and the second position from Commissioner District #1 (Omak, Coulee Dam,
and Reservation Areas). Both positions must represent a business that collects
the Lodging Tax Revenue, for example, representation from the hotel industry,
nightly rental or RV campground business.
If you are interested in serving on
the Okanogan County LTAC, a letter of interest will be needed. This letter of
interest should include the following information:
·
Your Name, phone number, mailing and
email addresses
·
A statement describing your
qualifications and why you are interested in filling the position
·
A signed statement of eligibility from
the entity you work for that includes the business name, in what capacity you
wish to serve on the LTAC (in this case, as a Collector of the tax), and that
you do represent that entity.

County Commissioners either by email to
ljohns@co.okanogan.wa.us or by
