Lodging Occupation Tax

The Lodging Occupation Tax is imposed on every vendor providing lodging room or accommodation in the Town according to Mead Municipal Code Chapter 4 Article VII. The amount to be collected is $2.00 per day per lodging room or accommodation.  Vendors may indicate on record of sale that sales price “includes $2.00 town Lodging Occupation Tax.”

Vendors shall remit payment to the Town of Mead on or before the tenth day of each month for lodging provided during the preceding month. Lodging Tax Submittal form must be submitted with payment. Lodging Occupation Tax is separate from any obligation that the vendor may have for state and/or local sales tax. Please visit State of Colorado Revenue Online to submit appropriate sales tax. 

Lodging means hotel rooms, motel rooms, lodging rooms, motor hotel rooms, or guesthouse rooms. This also includes Air BNB, VRBO, cabins, RV Parks or other similar accommodations that are rented to persons for a period of less than one (1) month or thirty (30) consecutive days, but shall not include rentals under a written agreement for occupancy for a period of at least one (1) month or thirty (30) consecutive days. Lodger's tax does not apply to meeting rooms, display rooms, and banquet facilities where a specific charge is made for such facilities.

Please contact the Town Treasurer’s office for more information.
