REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – Staying at a hotel or motel in Delaware’s most popular beach town is about to become a little more expensive.
Rehoboth Beach commissioners on Friday approved an ordinance imposing a lodging tax of 3% for renting a room in a hotel, motel or tourist home within the city limits.
The tax is on top of the current 8% state occupancy tax and will take effect Jan 1. Local officials estimate the new tax will generate $113,000 in additional revenue in the first quarter of next year.
State lawmakers passed a bill earlier this year authorizing Rehoboth Beach officials to levy the tax.
