What this is
This dataset tracks hotels and motels with active tax licenses in Oklahoma City.
Why it matters to you
When traveling or booking accommodations, you might want to verify if a hotel is properly licensed by the city. This data also helps small businesses (like nearby restaurants or tour operators) identify licensed hotels to partner with for promotions or referrals. The city uses this to ensure tax compliance and track tourism activity.
How to read this data
- Legal Name: The official business name of the hotel/motel (e.g., “Sunset Inn LLC”).
- Address: The exact street address where the business operates.
- Certificate: The unique license number issued by the city (e.g., “HM-2023-0456”).
- Sector: Which part of the city the hotel is in (NW, NE, SW, SE, or Central).
Try it yourself
