WNC towns debate future of room occupancy tax

If passed, legislation introduced by Western North Carolina Republican representatives would allow municipalities within Haywood County to levy their own occupancy tax to be spent on tourism marketing. While Bryson City was originally a part of the bill, the town has now been removed.

• Canton, Waynesville to consider room tax increases

• Bryson City removed from room tax legislation

• No plans for town room tax in Sylva

• Maggie Valley occupancy tax on the horizon
