Tourism Zone Commission

The Door County Tourism Zone Commission is an intergovernmental entity established by the municipalities in Door County to encourage tourism, the success of which is measured by an increase in overnight stays at various lodging establishments. The commission is responsible for collecting an eight percent (8%) tax on room charges. Based upon the room tax collected to date, Jacksonport is entitled to one resident or citizen to serve as a voting member of the Tourism Zone Commission. Jacksonport’s representative preferably will own or operate a lodging establishment(s) in the town and will serve one-year terms on the Commission. Any appointments to the Tourism Zone Commission are considered a committee appointment under township bylaws.

Jacksonport representative: Kay Englebert
