Local Accommodations Tax Application

Charleston County Ordinance # 910, adopted by Charleston County Council on November 16, 1993, established an Accommodations Fee of 2 percent (2%) to be collected from renters of transient room accommodations (occupied less than thirty-day duration). These include hotels, motels and other lodging facilities that offer accommodations to tourists throughout the entire Charleston County area including the municipalities within Charleston County. The purpose of the fee is to build and enhance the facilities that serve the tourists who visit Charleston and to promote and further encourage tourism in the County.
