Kansas City — Missouri city guide

The City of Kansas City's hotel tax guide says hotels and motels pay a 7.5% convention and tourism tax on the amount charged for sleeping rooms, that arena fees charged to the guest are subject to the same 7.5%, and that the arena fee is $1.50 per room daily; a city ordinance summary found by search said the fee rose to $3.00 from August 1, 2023, so the figure is unresolved. Sales tax is separate. NOAA's Kansas City International Airport normals give a July high of 88.3°F and a January high of 38.4°F. We verified no attraction prices or transit fares.
