The Township of Lake of Bays Council has voted to pause the implementation of a proposed Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) program during the November 12, 2024, Council meeting. This decision follows valuable public input from a community survey and local accommodators.
Through this engagement, Council and staff have gained important insights that will help guide future decisions pertaining to the program. Staff will continue to work with stakeholders and encourage the public to stay informed about updates and engagement opportunities by subscribing to the Township’s News and Public Notices.
A total of 179 survey responses were received, primarily from residents and accommodators. An overview of the survey results can be found in the Staff Report available at Lakeofbays.on.ca/MAT.
