The Arlington Tourism Public Improvement District (ATPID) is made up of hotel and motel properties that have 75 or more sleeping rooms. These properties pay a 2% TPID on net occupancy receipts from sleeping rooms that are subject to Hotel Occupancy Tax. These funds are used to market and promote the City of Arlington as convention and tourism destination. The Arlington TPID went into effect October 15, 2016.

The term for the ATPID is 10 years and it is expected to collect approximately $39 million over the ten years. A board of directors consisting of participating ATPID hotel/motel members will direct the use of all funds generated. The City of Arlington authorized the creation of the District and must annually approve a budget. The board has contracted with the City to collect the funds, and with the Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau to administer the programs and use of the funds.
