Amador County Tourism Marketing District (ACTMD) Overview
The Amador County Tourism Marketing District (ACTMD) is an assessment district formed by the Amador Council of Tourism (ACT) to provide marketing and sales promotion funding for assessed lodging partners in Amador County beginning with associated rental revenue collected starting July 1, 2025. The revenue to be collected will be paid by the renter. The ACTMD includes all lodging businesses (including short term vacation rentals) within the boundaries of the County of Amador (over 200 businesses) that do not request and are granted an Exemption Request.

The initial ACTMD budget is expected to be $200,000 per year based on a 2% assessment of qualifying gross short-term room rental revenue. Lodging businesses will be able to pass the assessment fee on to their guests. A third party collection agency will collect the TMD funds. ACT will have an additional $100,000+ annual budget from the Amador County Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) funding to support other non-lodging and community interests in the County.
The ACTMD initially will have a 5-year duration officially beginning September 24, 2025. The Amador Council of Tourism (ACT) will serve as the ACTMD’s Owner’s Association. The Owner’s Association is charged with managing the funds and implementing programs in accordance with this plan.
