It’s probably going to get more expensive to operate Air B&Bs, VRBOs, Motels and other short-term rentals in the Sheboygan area.
That’s because the yearly permit fees charged to those owners is proposed to increase 500 percent, from the current $20 to $100 per year for each place of business that’s required to collect the room tax of 8% on the gross receipts from retail rooms or lodgings within the City of Sheboygan, Town of Sheboygan and Town of Wilson.
The Sheboygan Area Room Tax Commission, meeting last Tuesday, discussed the need to raise those fees in order to cover the cost of issuing the permits and of contracting with Host Compliance, a company that provides rental registration, tax collection and enforcement of those rules for rentals.
After discussion, the Room Tax Commission recommended that all three municipalities increase those fees from $20 to $100 per year.
