Letter: South Tahoe Chamber does not support possible City tax increase

On Tuesday, September 26 at 5:30 p.m., the South Lake Tahoe City Council will be discussing the possibility of instituting more taxes. Our Chamber believes that enough is enough. In the past five years, the voters have supported a sales tax increase, a Transient Occupancy Tax increase, and the elimination of about one thousand vacation rentals.

Now they are going to consider yet another TOT tax, a property transfer tax, sales tax, or a property tax. One council member wants to tax homeowners who don’t rent out their homes up to $6,000 per year! Enough is enough. Our economy and inflation are crushing our community.

Let your voices be heard! Please let your voice be heard by attending at 5:30 p.m., attending by Zoom, submitting comments via email, or calling in during the meeting's public comment period.
