Open House: Upcoming Vote on Lodging Tax

Published: October, 21 2025

Informational Open House at Driggs City Hall about the upcoming Lodging Tax ballot questions.

Thursday, Oct 23 - 4-6pm

On the ballot for the City of Driggs Voters: (Teton County Precinct #4 Only)

Two questions will appear on the ballot regarding the Driggs Non-Property Sales Tax Ordinance;

1. Should Driggs increase the sales tax rate on lodging & short-term occupancy charges from 6% to 8%, and establish a duration of 25 years for all local non-property sales taxes?

2. Should Driggs add “Law Enforcement and Public Safety” to the list of eligible uses for the local non-property sales tax revenue?

The Driggs local-option sales tax, first approved by voters in 2000, helps the City keep pace with growth and address visitor impacts, and is an alternative (allowed only in “Resort Cities”) to voter-approved property tax increases for maintaining and improving roads, pathways, parking lots, parks, affordable housing, utilities, and other critical facilities and services.

Detailed information on this issue and how to vote early or on November 4th is available on our Elections Page.
