In response to the need for the creation of a reliable funding source for regional tourism, and in cooperation with the local jurisdictions and local tourism stakeholders, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution establishing the BCTBID on November 10, 2015. Funded through a 2% assessment on short-term lodging rentals (generally less than 30 days), the BCTBID has been the primary source of tourism promotion within Butte County. The original resolution of establishment for BCTBID was for a term beginning December 1, 2015 through November 30, 2020. Explore Butte County, the Owners Association for the BCTBID, has taken the lead in working with the local jurisdictions and the local tourism stakeholders on the BCTBID renewal process, requesting renewal for a term beginning December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2030. Per the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, BCTBID is required to formally adopt renewals through the same public process that was utilized for the original BCTBID formation. Explore Butte County has worked with lodging businesses within the County to update the Management District Plan for the BCTBID, which provides details on the BCTBID including district boundaries, budget, services, governance, and district membership. On August 11, 2020, the Board adopted a resolution of intention to renew the BCTBID. The next step in the process is to hold a public meeting in order to allow public testimony regarding the renewal.
