We own property in Canaan Valley and also annually rent in Timberline. We have no objection to the 2% fee and think it is a smart and fair way to address a serious deficiency in EMS coverage. Letting involved businesses know prior to the vote would have been nice but the necessary outcome would have been the same.
Using the numbers from my AirDNA analytics subscription, the 'fees' on STR alone would surpass $400k annually.

At a minimum they should have given at least 6 months to implement the fee. There is significant programming involved.
