Default Occupancy tax

A portion of the occupancy tax: 9% total 1% to the county in Sumter, goes directly to the county. Temporary residents (renters) are charged this tax. The county provides grant from the tourism fund for entertainment. Ergo, renters pay for entertainment, in part

Renters may be aware of occupancy tax or it may be built into the rent but it is paid.
