At issue is a 2% lodging tax that Clear Creek County and the quaint mountain town of 1,100 residents, a short exit ramp off of Interstate 70, are each collecting from hotels, bed and breakfasts and short-term rentals
Everyone wants their piece of the pie in Clear Creek County.
Georgetown says the county needs to rein in its taxman following November’s election, when voters passed a lodging tax the town says is designed to replace Clear Creek’s levy starting on the first of the year. It points to athat permits Colorado counties to collect taxes on visitor stays with the proviso that “no tax shall apply within any municipality levying a lodging tax.”
A Department of Revenue spokesman told The Denver Post the agency has no comment “on an issue between two local governments.” It also includes the 2% lodging tax — paid twice, once to Georgetown and once to Clear Creek County — even though an analysis accompanying the ballot assured voters that Georgetown’s tax “replaces the current 2% lodging tax that is currently collected by the county.”
“The county is refusing to stop collecting and it puts our vendors in a very awkward situation,” Keuroglian said.
