Lodging tax advisory committee

The Gig Harbor Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) was established in accordance with state law to advise and recommend to the city council on how lodging taxes collected in Gig Harbor should be allocated in order to best increase tourism in the city.

Volunteer members of LTAC may live outside city limits. The membership is made up of the following: 

• One member is an elected official of the city who serves as chair.
• Four members are representatives of businesses required to collect the tax.
• Four members are persons involved in activities authorized to be funded by revenue received from the tax.

The Chamber of Commerce has been awarded a lodging tax grant to provide Direct Marketing Organization (DMO) services for the city. As the DMO, the Chamber functions as the official tourism promotion organization for the city. The Chamber provides quarterly reports on its tourism promotion activities to the city as part of its contract.
