Lodgers' Tax Advisory Board
The Santa Fe County Lodgers' Tax Advisory Board is governed by the Santa Fe County Lodgers' Occupancy Tax Ordinance, originally adopted in 1985 and subsequently repealed and replaced with Ordinance No. 2023-02.
The LTAB provides recommendations on the use of lodgers' tax revenues, including review of semiannual budgets supporting the marketing, advertising, publicizing, and promotion of tourism attractions in Santa Fe County. The board also reviews and recommends grant applications for Lodgers' Tax Marketing and Advertising grants and Tourism Event, Facilities and Attractions grants (TEFA).
The LTAB consists of five Santa Fe County residents appointed by the Board: two members representing the lodging industry, two members directly involved in tourism-related industries, and one member at large representing the general public. Members must reside within Santa Fe County. LTAB members serve two-year terms and may be re-nominated for up to two additional successive terms.
