The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors by a split vote of 3-2 has missed a deadline to put a expansion of the county’s lodging tax on the March 2024 ballot. The tax would extend the 12% transient occupancy tax to online marketplaces, such as vacation rental and travel booking sites. Supervisors Hopkins and Gore voted against the measure, noting under it’s current form, it would be subject to a legal challenge and the short time in reviewing the measure before a vote. The earliest it could now appear on the ballot would be November of 2024.
