ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- County Comptroller Martha Haynie announced that resort tax collections received by the County in November for the hotel collection month of October 2009 were $11,164,800. Resort taxes are charged on short-term rentals, mostly hotels and motels.
Comptroller Haynie noted that October 2009 collections were 9.8 percent lower than October 2008.
“The comparison of October 2009 to October 2008 is worse than the three percent decline we reported with the September 2009 collections. This month’s revenues do not indicate that the recovery we are looking for is close at hand,” Haynie added.
