An Act to Eliminate the Lodging Tax on Campground Sites and 
Revert to Using the Current Sales Tax
Reference to the Committee on Taxation suggested and ordered printed.
ROBERT B. HUNT
Clerk
Presented by Representative POIRIER of Skowhegan.
Cosponsored by Representatives: HENDERSON of Rumford, RUDNICKI of Fairfield, 
Senator: HARRINGTON of York.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  36 MRSA §1811, sub-§1, ¶D, as amended by PL 2021, c. 578, §4; c. 658, 
§286; and c. 669, §5, is further amended by amending subparagraph (3) to read:
(3)  Nine percent on the value of rental of living quarters in any a hotel, or rooming 
house, or except for those in a tourist or trailer camp;
Sec. 2.  Application. This Act applies to sales occurring on or after October 1, 2023.
SUMMARY
Under current law, the rental of living quarters in tourist camps and trailer camps is 
subject to a sales tax of 9%.  This bill removes living quarters in tourist camps and trailer 
camps from inclusion under the 9% sales tax rate, which will result in the rental of living 
quarters in trailer camps and tourist camps being subject to the general sales tax rate, which 
is currently 5.5%.
