March Resort Tax Collections in Orange County, FL Up from Same 2009 Period


ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- County Comptroller Martha Haynie (top right photo)  announced that resort tax collections received by the County in April for the hotel collection month of March 2010 were $15,880,300. Resort taxes are charged on short-term rentals, mostly hotels and motels.

Comptroller Haynie noted that March 2010 collections were roughly 14 percent higher than March 2009. “March 2009 saw one of the sharpest declines we have experienced in the TDT collections, and most of the year was pretty dismal. This upturn in the revenue doesn’t get us out of the ditch, but it is a very welcome development.” Haynie stated.
