ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- County Comptroller Martha Haynie (top right photo) announced today that resort tax collections received by the County in January for the hotel collection month of December 2009 were $12,376,000. Resort taxes are charged on short-term rentals, mostly hotels and motels.

Comptroller Haynie noted that December 2009 collections were slightly higher (0.3%) than December 2008. “Year over year, December tends to be a stable month. Even a minor increase like this is a welcome sight,” Haynie stated.
