Shawnee is increasing taxes for hotel guests and sending the additional revenues to support the sports complexes along Johnson Drive. Located along the 20000 block of Johnson Drive, the Mid-America Sports Complex and Mid-America West Sports Complex are due for upgrades, and the Johnson County Park and Recreation District recently asked the city to increase its tax rate on hotel guests to help fund those efforts. Shawnee’s transient guest tax rate will now be 8%, a 2-percentage point increase from when the city established the rate at 6% in 2008.
