From:adrienne parker To:Clerk of the Board Subject:Letter of Protest Date:Monday, June 16, 2025 11:40:38 AM Office of the Clerk of the Board County of Butte 25 County Center Drive, Suite 200 Oroville, CA 95965 Oroville, A 95965 clerkoftheboard@buttecounty.net To Whom it May Concern, I am protesting the proposed increase tax/assessment on short term rentals which is already excessive at 10% for TOT. This is discouraging. Our Airbnb helps us pay our mortgage. Money is a lot tighter since my husband retired and I would like to retire soon but haven’t completely due to finances. I will be 71 in July. We provide a much needed service to travelers who are visiting family or here on business. The minority of our guests are actual tourists but regardless, they are people who are looking for something different than a hotel room and our service is driven by demand. Increasing the cost of our little short term days is not going to promote tourism. Please let the assessment stay as is, especially for our little mom and pop stays for small number of rooms, perhaps less than four, or at the least, less than two. Thank you for your kind consideration. Adrienne Parker 1500 Normal Ave. Chico, CA 95928 530-321-6148
