Chamber Board of Directors Endorses YES Vote on June 18 for Edmond Lodging Tax

The Board of Directors of the Edmond Chamber has endorsed the passage of the Edmond Lodging Tax vote on June 18. We encourage Edmond residents to vote yes on June 18 to increase the Edmond Lodging Tax from 4% to 6%. This tax will only apply to overnight stays in Edmond. Citizens will not pay this tax unless they spend the night in a hotel, bed & breakfast, or vacation home.

"We are thrilled to endorse the passage of the Edmond Lodging Tax vote," stated Sherry Jordan, President, and CEO of the Edmond Chamber. "This opportunity aligns with our mission to foster economic prosperity and enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. By investing in initiatives that promote tourism and economic development, we are paving the way for a stronger, more vibrant Edmond."

Lodging tax revenue generates more sales tax dollars by encouraging visitors to dine and shop in Edmond. Sales tax funds amenities like streets, parks, trails, and attractions to improve citizens' quality of life.

Edmond's 4% tax rate is the lowest in the metropolitan area. In comparison, Norman (8%), Guthrie (7%), Stillwater (7%), and Oklahoma City (5.5%).
