Texas HB3567 authorizes specific counties to impose a hotel occupancy tax and outlines how the revenue can be used.

Texas HB3567 amends the Tax Code to allow the commissioners court of a county with a population over 125,000, bordering the Red River, and having a county seat with a population over 100,000 to impose a hotel occupancy tax. The tax rate cannot exceed two percent of the price paid for a hotel room. The revenue generated can be used for expenses related to sporting events attracting tourists, construction and maintenance of public spaces promoting the arts, grants to art and cultural organizations, funding local history museums, and hiring staff to manage the tax revenue.
