Room Tax

WISCONSIN’S ROOM TAXES
Cities, villages and towns in Wisconsin have been authorized by state law to impose a public accommodations,or room tax, since 1967. The tax is generally applied to charges for rooms or lodging provided for fewer than 30 consecutive days by hotels, motels, rooming houses, bed-and-breakfasts, cottages, cabins and summer camps. Sales to state and local governments and to certain nonprofit organizations are exempt from the tax.

The room tax is applied only to gross receipts from furnishing sleeping accommodations. Food or other services provided by the establishments are not subject to the tax. The room tax (up to 8%) is imposed in addition to any state (5%) and county (0.5%) sales taxes that apply to room charges.

Town of Lyons has adopted and imposes a 3% room tax rate.
