Bingo Operators Report Local Award Fees to the County

Bingo carries its own slice of local tax paperwork. Award fees get paid at the Ascarate Tax Office, and every bingo conductor running games in the county files a quarterly report laying out the bingo awards collected and the fees owed to the county.

A quarter with no fees due still needs a no-activity report filed with the County Tax Office — a club that only runs the occasional game can forget that one entirely and end up out of compliance over a quarter it didn't even play.

Both halves have to be squared away before you host paid bingo: the state bingo license and the county reporting. The current forms, due dates, and payment instructions live on the county's Bingo Award Fees page.
