Composition & Rules of Operation of HCTDA 1% Zip Code Subcommittees

Section 1 – HCTDA 1% Zip Code Subcommittees Creation

            The Haywood County Tourism Development Authority 1% Zip Code Subcommittees were established and appointed by Resolution of the Haywood County Board of County Commissioners in March 2008.

            The HCTDA 1% Zip Code Subcommittees were first established and appointed as a result  of legislation authorizing Haywood County to levy an additional one percent occupancy tax to be distributed into five separate zip code areas of the county based on the collection area from which the proceeds were collected.

            State Law Reference: Session Law 2007-337; House Bill 1013

Section 2 – Composition & appointment of members

            Each zip code area will have a three-member subcommittee made up of members that reside or work within the same zip code.

            One member will be a TDA Board member (that represents the appropriate zip code).

            One member will be a representative of the STR Accommodations industry (an owner or manager) from within the appropriate zip code and recommended by the Town Aldermen.

            One member will be an owner or manager of a tourism related business or STR Accommodations industry within the appropriate zip code and recommended by the Town Aldermen.
