Transient Occupancy Tax
Kennewick hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfast operations, and short-term rentals collect the Benton County basic 2 percent hotel/motel tax authorized by RCW 67.28.180, layered on top of the standard Washington state and local retail sales tax that applies to lodging under RCW 82.08.0291. The county hotel/motel tax is credited against the state share so the guest pays one combined rate. The Washington Department of Revenue administers collection through the Combined Excise Tax Return. Stays of 30 or more continuous days are non-transient and exempt.
