Walker County collects an 8% hotel/motel tax for overnight stays within the unincorporated area of the county.

The Walker County Chamber of Commerce serves as the County’s Destination Marketing Organization for the purpose of expending 43.75% of the funds collected by the County pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 48-13-51(b) for promoting tourism, convention and trade shows (hereinafter referred to as “TCT”).

The Chamber supervises a Tourism Committee, made of representatives from across the County, which advises where revenue expended to promote tourism will have the greatest impact.

The Tourism Committee meets monthly on the third Monday of the month at 1:30 p.m. at the Walker County Civic Center, 10052 Highway 27 in Rock Spring.

Budgets for the three most recent years are posted below:
