Room Tax Commission
The Room Tax Commission voted unanimously to expand Two Rivers’ room tax to cover overnight RV stays, a change staff said could boost 2026 room-tax revenue by about 10%. No one spoke during community input.
Key Decisions
Commissioners approved changes to the room-tax ordinance to include overnight RV stays, a policy shift that could increase room-tax revenue and affect how campground-style operators are taxed and reported.
Staff projected the RV change could raise total room-tax revenue by roughly 10% in 2026—real money that will shape what tourism promotion (and related spending) the city can afford.

Agenda Items
AMEND ROOM TAX ORDINANCE TO INCLUDE RV OVERNIGHT STAYS
Passed 5-0
The commission voted 5-0 to adopt ordinance changes adding overnight RV stays to the city’s room tax, with the revised ordinance headed to City Council for review and approval. Staff (Joe Metzen) projected the change could increase total room-tax revenue by about 10% in 2026, which matters because room-tax dollars drive tourism marketing and related spending decisions. Commissioners also noted outreach to RV site providers, but the minutes don’t spell out what concerns (if any) operators raised—something residents and affected businesses may want clarified as the ordinance moves forward.
