Effective October 1, 2009 the Tourist Development Tax is going to be 4 1/2%, up a half percent from what we currently pay.

Making the total to collect 11.5%. :blush: SoWal for Southwest Airlines.

Wanna get away??

There is another low cost start up I read about the other day offering 9 dollar tickets. I think you have to stand up and hold onto a strap the whole trip or something.

8 bucks for a wing seat, but at least you can smoke.

If you can light it. :D

Looks like Jan. through Sept. 2009 Walton county bed taxes collected dropped about 6.5% or $666,000 over the same time period 2008.

Incorrect. It was actually down 7.02% for fiscal year 2009 from fiscal year 2008. Not too far off the mark when compared to FY 2007, though. And, it's far too early to tell, but things **may** be starting to look up. ;-)

Incorrect.

BH: (I think my numbers are correct for the time period I mention. I chose calendar months Jan.-Sept. because the tax hike started Oct 1.)

SN: It was actually down 7.02% for fiscal year 2009 from fiscal year 2008.

BH: (Ouch!) Is your fiscal year Oct to Oct? Sonny M. was quoted at 8% in the SUN.)

SN: Not too far off the mark when compared to FY 2007, though.

BH: (So we got that going for us.)

SN: And, it's far too early to tell, but things **may** be starting to look up. ;-)

BH: (I Know everyone hopes you are right on that.)
