The City of Snohomish is currently accepting applications for its 2025 Lodging Tax Grant Program, aimed at supporting projects that attract visitors to the city. This grant program is funded by taxes collected on lodging within the city limits and is managed by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC). The committee reviews applications and recommends funding awards to the City Council, as outlined by local and state regulations. Eligible applicants can request up to $10,000 in funding.

For the 2025 cycle, the LTAC prioritizes innovative and collaborative projects that can increase tourism, particularly initiatives that encourage overnight stays and generate economic benefits during the off-season. This focus on year-round visitor attraction aims to boost local economic activity beyond the peak tourist months.

Applications must be submitted by November 17, 2024, at 11:59 PM. Applicants should follow the guidelines provided on the Lodging Tax Grant Program page and review the scoring criteria for a better understanding of how proposals will be evaluated. For further assistance or technical issues, applicants can reach out to Economic Development & Outreach Coordinator Brady Begin via email or phone.

The program represents an opportunity for organizations or event planners to secure funding for projects that can enhance Snohomish's appeal as a tourist destination, contributing to the local economy.
