Room Tax

The City of Newport imposes a 9.5% transient room tax on lodging rented for less than 30 days duration. The tax is used for general government purposes (54%) and for tourism promotion and facilities purposes (46%) as stated in the City of Newport Municipal Code (NMC), Chapter 3.05.

All hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, campgrounds, vacation rentals, both continuous and occasional - and any other type of transient lodging rental establishments - are required to collect room tax from their renters and remit it to the City on a monthly basis. Below are links to materials useful to those who are responsible for collection of the tax.
