HB 1809 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

City of Senatobia; extend repeal date on hotel/motel and restaurant tourism tax.

HB 1809 extends the expiration date for a 2% tourism tax in Senatobia, Mississippi, from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2029. The tax applies to hotels/motels (with six or more rooms) and restaurants within Senatobia, levied on gross proceeds from room rentals and food/beverage sales. Proceeds must be used solely for parks, recreation, and tourism development, not general city funds. This change directly affects businesses operating in Senatobia subject to the tax, allowing the city to continue collecting revenue for designated purposes.
