Lodging Tax
The City of Fruita lodging tax is levied on the provision of lodging upon every person or business that furnishes any hotel room, motel room, lodging room, motor hotel room, guest house room, recreational vehicle park space, vacation rental or other similar accommodations, but shall not include rentals under a written agreement for occupancy for a period of 28 consecutive days or more.
The amount of the lodging tax is 6% (in addition to the 7.9% retail sales tax) and is paid directly to the City of Fruita (returns for retail sales tax need to be sent to the State of Colorado Department of Revenue). Vendors collecting and remitting the tax can deduct 3 1/3% of the lodging tax collected as a collection fee. Returns are due by the 20th day of the month for the preceding calendar month.
Revenues from Fruita’s lodging tax are placed in a Marketing and Promotional Fund for the purpose of marketing and promotion of the City to tourists, the traveling public and others.
