Big Mountain area to vote on resort tax

Residents of the Big Mountain Resort Area District will vote on implementing a resort tax this month. Mail-in ballots are due Jan. 21.  

If the measure passes, a 3% resort tax will be collected on goods and services, lodging, and food and drinks in the Big Moutain area beginning June 1. The tax would be in effect for 20 years.  

The tax area follows the boundaries of the Big Mountain Fire District and includes Whitefish Mountain Resort and adjacent businesses.
