Santa Fe County is seeking members for the Santa Fe County Lodgers Tax Advisory Board. There is currently open recruitment for five board member positions as all five board member terms expire in December 2015.

Santa Fe County Lodgers Tax Advisory Board consists of five residents of the County, two of whom shall represent the lodging industry, two of whom are directly involved in tourist-related industries, and one member at large who shall represent the general public. Members must reside within Santa Fe County. 

The role of the Lodgers Tax Advisory Board is to make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners concerning the expenditure of the Occupancy Tax proceeds. The advisory board prepares semiannual budgets, setting forth the amount of money collected by the County Clerk, and also setting forth all expenditures made during such semi-annual period.

The appointments shall be subject to confirmation by the Board of County Commissioners and will be made in December for Lodgers Tax Advisory Board Members to begin serving in January 2016. Board members will serve a two-year term and may be renominated for up to two additional successive terms.
