Tourist Development Council Meetings
About the Tourist Development Council
The Tourist Development Council is comprised of nine members appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. Three are elected officials including the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, or their designee, and two elected municipal officials, one of which must be from the County’s most populous municipality. Up to four members (but not less than three members) are owner/operators of tourist accommodations which are subject to bed tax. The remaining members are persons involved in tourist-related businesses other than accommodations. All members must be electors of St. Johns County.
