The latest report from the county said the April 2022 collections is a 103.1% increase over April 2021.
Last month, the county reported its highest monthly collections ever with more than $38.5 million brought into the area in March 2022.
The March 2022 numbers soar 182% higher than the March 2020 report , indicative that people are surging into Orange County hotels and short-term rental properties in the continued easing of pandemic-era travel restrictions, lockdowns and other COVID-related public health measures.
“...these were the highest monthly collections ever, shattering the previous high set in March 2019 by $7.3 million or 23%!” Diamond said in a statement.
