The online system used by cities to report lodging tax expenditures is officially open for 2019 reporting. The deadline for reporting 2019 expenditures is May 15, 2020; cities may enter data and edit expenditure reports until this date.
Local governments are statutorily required to report annually on expenditures of lodging tax revenue. The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) has established an online system to collect data about lodging tax expenditures as required by state law.
Your city can access the reporting system and guidance documents on JLARC’s website. If you have any questions, please review the reporting instructions, the FAQ, or email JLARClodgingtax@leg.wa.gov.
