Chattahoochee Hills adopted an 8% hotel tax in 2024, up from 7%

Chattahoochee Hills adopted Ordinance 24-06-274 on June 4, 2024, increasing its hotel and motel excise tax from 7% to 8%. The amended provision imposes the tax on rent for hotel guest-room occupancy within city limits.

The ordinance specifies that the city retain 37.5% of receipts, with 25% dedicated to the Chattahoochee Hills Convention and Visitors Bureau Authority, 18.75% to the Chattahoochee Hills Destination Marketing Organization, Inc., and 18.75% to tourism product development.

The ordinance repeatedly specifies September 1, 2024, as the effective date, but Section 3 also says the prior tax provision remains in effect until August 31, 2025. That internal conflict leaves the transition timing unresolved. This account describes the 2024 adoption; the supplied evidence does not establish a later correction or subsequent tax changes.
