Nevada County Supervisors today authorized allocating $125,000 collected in TOT taxes to fund a new Comprehensive Economic Development Program for the county. The TOT or Transient Occupancy Tax is charged by hotels, motels B and B’s and campgrounds, and historically the TOT revenues have been split between various chambers of commerce and tourism groups.
