Hotel/Motel Tax<br />
As discussed previously, hotel taxes <strong>in</strong> <strong>Coeur</strong> d’Alene are limited to a two percent tax assessed<br />
<strong>by</strong> the State. It is possible that additional hotel taxes could be implemented through the<br />
formation of an Auditorium District <strong>and</strong>/or an <strong>in</strong>crease to the State’s population thresholds<br />
regard<strong>in</strong>g Resort City Tax eligibility. While these options may entail political <strong>and</strong>/or legislative<br />
challenges, it is useful to underst<strong>and</strong> the fund<strong>in</strong>g potential of a hotel tax should one be<br />
implemented <strong>in</strong> the future.<br />
The State of Idaho ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>s records of annual taxable sales <strong>and</strong> hotel tax collections <strong>by</strong> county.<br />

As shown, taxable hotel sales <strong>in</strong> Kootenai County have <strong>in</strong>creased consistently over the past six<br />
years, from $33.3 million <strong>in</strong> 2002 to $49.4 million <strong>in</strong> 2007, an average annual growth rate of 8.2<br />
percent.<br />
In order to estimate the tax collections that could result over the next 20 years from the<br />
implementation of a local option hotel tax, two scenarios were developed. The first assumes that<br />
annual hotel sales will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to grow at the historical rate of 8.2 percent per year. The second<br />
assumes more moderate annual growth of 3.0 percent. For each scenario, annual taxable sales<br />
<strong>and</strong> the revenue that could be generated for each 1.0 percent <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the local hotel tax were<br />
estimated each year from 2010 through 2029. The NPV of those 20-year tax revenue streams<br />
was then calculated. The follow<strong>in</strong>g table presents the results of this analysis.<br />
