Property Manager Vote:
The Tri-County Lodging Association Board of Directors had previously sought legal clarification for the voting procedures for those that manage vacation rental property for overnight rentals. The following is an explanation of this procedure:

If a property management company manages 100 houses/condos in Camden, Miller, or Morgan County, within the boundaries of the respective Lake of the Ozark Area Business Districts, the property manager, WITH permission from the home/condo owner, may vote in their place. A property manager with 100 properties (Each home/condo is an individual business as the owner is technically responsible for the lodging taxes to be remitted) could potentially cast 100 votes in the small category of the appropriate Business District. Said property manager would be required to provide legal proof that they have this permission or have this in their management contract and produce same. Legal counsel offered the following verbiage as an example of the home/condo owner’s permission to vote in their place:

1. A signed statement by the property owner “I authorize ____ to vote on behalf of _____.”

2. A verified statement by the property manager “I, _____, do hereby swear and attest under penalty of perjury, that I am authorized to vote on behalf of ______.”

Questions:
Any questions on the election process should be directed to the Business District in which you collect and remit lodging tax.
