City of Poulsbo
  In 1998, the City approved Ordinance 98-03 in accordance with RCW 82.08 and authorized by RCW 67.28.181 to levy an additional 2% tax on charges for lodging activity. In order to collect the additional 2% tax the City is required to form a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. The committee must consist of at least five members of which at least two are representatives from businesses that collect the tax, at least two which are persons involved in activities funded by the tax, and one member from the city who acts as chair.

The City accepts proposals from various groups and organizations for use of the remaining 2% lodging tax for special funding projects related to the cost of tourism promotion, acquisition of tourism-related facilities, or operation of tourism-related facilities. These proposals are reviewed by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, which in turn make recommendations to the Community Services Committee prior to coming before the full Council. There is approximately $55,000-$60,000 available for special funding requests using these hotel-motel tax funds each year.
