Details:
The Sonoma County Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax on accommodations at lodging and camping facilities in the unincorporated areas of the county. From this fund, each Supervisorial District in the county receives a percentage for discretionary projects within each District from the Tourism Impact Fund.
The Community Investment Fund Policy is divided into various categories. Tourism Impact Fund Grants are intended to meet the unique and urgent needs of areas in our local communities. The Board has established this category to assist various projects and organizations with funding for impact mitigation which include, but are not limited to safety improvements, traffic calming devices, environmental impact mitigation, public safety, such as fire services, and other tourism mitigation activities, such as parking enforcement. Funding may also be used for projects that benefit the community or community improvements. Organizations can submit this application for funding as indicated by the Supervisorial District in which their project/organization exists.
