The Seasonal Tourist Business Designation (STBD) Program is accepting applications for the 2027 assessment roll.  Eligible seasonal tourism businesses must submit their application to Property Valuation Services Corporation (PVSC) by September 1, 2026. Applications are required annually, even if a business has received designation in previous years.  The program is available to eligible seasonal tourism businesses, including restaurants, roofed accommodations, and camping establishments that meet the program’s criteria. Businesses must be closed for a total of at least four months during the taxation year and satisfy other eligibility requirements outlined by PVSC.

If you were unable to attend the  TIANS webinar earlier this week focused on the Seasonal Tourist Business Designation (STBD) Program, the recording is now available on the TIANS YouTube channel.

For additional STBD program information, operators are encouraged to review this helpful FAQ, and/or contact PVSC directly.
