(1) hotel;
(2) motel;
(3) boat motel;
(4) inn;
(5) college or university memorial union;
(6) college or university residence hall or dormitory; or

in the county.
(b) The tax does not apply to gross income received in a transaction in which:
(1) a person rents a campsite at a state or federal park or forest;
(2) a student rents lodgings in a college or university residence hall while that student participates in a course of study for which the student receives college credit from a college or university located in the county; or
(3) a person rents a room, lodging, or accommodations for a period of thirty (30) days or more.
(c) The tax shall be levied at the rate of five percent (5%) on the gross retail income derived from lodging income only and is in addition to the state gross retail tax imposed under IC 6-2.5.
(d) The tax shall be paid monthly to the county treasurer not more than ten (10) days after the end of the month in which the tax is collected.
