Plano levies a 7 percent municipal hotel occupancy tax on lodging stays under 30 days, stacked on the 6 percent Texas state HOT for a combined roughly 13 percent rate funding tourism, conventions, and arts programs citywide.
Texas Tax Code Chapter 351 authorizes Texas cities to impose a hotel occupancy tax up to 7 percent, and Plano levies the full rate. Combined with the Texas state HOT of 6 percent under Tax Code Chapter 156, total tax on a Plano hotel room runs about 13 percent before any venue or destination district add-ons. Revenue must fund tourism promotion, convention facilities, the arts, historical restoration, and signage. Plano Convention and Visitors Bureau and Visit Plano use HOT funds to market hotels along Dallas North Tollway, Legacy West, and Granite Park. Short-term rentals booked under 30 days also owe HOT.
Hotels and short-term rental hosts that fail to collect, report, or remit HOT face Plano comptroller audits, back taxes, penalties, and interest, plus possible misdemeanor charges for willful evasion.
