    After many months of hard work, collaboration, and countless meetings, the revised ordinance—eliminating ancillary charges from the lodging tax—has officially passed and been signed by Mayor Nichols! Special thanks to Andrew Hargis, Pete Patel, Tina Patel, Kyle Lippe, Trisha Kerkstra and especially to City Councilor Laura Bellis. 

    This achievement is a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together and by your investment in MTHLA.   If you have questions interpreting the new ordinance, please refer to the attached FAQs or contact Binu Abraham in the City Finance Department.
