Finney County Considers Guest Tax Hike to Stay Competitive
Finney County faces a raised 6 percent hotel occupancy tax to stay competitive with Dodge City and Liberal. Over a dozen area hoteliers support the proposal, with Amro Samy of the Clarion Inn seeking county-level administration for accountability. The plan may fund the county economic development group, though chambers oppose. The new rate could take effect within months after charter publication.
