All hotels/motels operating in the City of Newnan are required to obtain and maintain a current Occupational Tax Certificate from the City of Newnan. Additionally, the establishments are required to assess an 8% excise tax on behalf of the City. The excise taxes collected are to be remitted and reported on a monthly basis utilizing the online reporting and payment system hosted by the HdL Companies.  The tax is due by the 20th day of the subsequent month, i.e. taxes collected during October are due by November 20th. Visit the website for HdL Companies for more information.

Information for contacting HdL Companies and registration is included in the information accessible via the link above. Each lodging establishment is responsible for contacting HdL Companies directly to obtain access to the online reporting and payment system. Failure to register with HdL Companies will not alleviate the penalties associated with late filings and/or payments. Please note that the taxes cannot be mailed directly to the City of Newnan, the taxes must be reported and paid via the online system referenced above.

Visit the City of Newnan Code of Ordinances for up to date information pertaining to the Hotel-Motel Taxes. Questions concerning the tax can be directed to the Finance Department. Most questions should be addressed directly with HdL Companies since they are collecting and enforcing the reporting of hotel/motel taxes for the City of Newnan.
