Worcester County Hotel Room Tax Increase
Most of the Worcester County Commissioners support a bill to increase the county's hotel room tax from 5% to 6%.
Two of the seven Commissioners, Jim Bunting and Chip Bertino, are not in favor of the increase.
Ocean City officials have requested the increase to generate additional tourism revenue, aiming for it to be enacted by the start of 2026.
- The increase would allow hotel and motel operators to set new room rates before summer bookings for 2026.
- Legislation must be introduced at the Commissioner's November 18 meeting with a public hearing.
- If passed as emergency legislation, it would take effect immediately; otherwise, there's a 45-day wait.
