S 666 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Extends the town of Goshen's authority to impose a hotel and motel tax

This bill extends Goshen's existing authority to collect a hotel and motel tax of up to 5% for two additional years. It modifies a 2023 law that previously set a four-year expiration period, allowing the tax to continue without renewal. The extension directly affects Goshen residents and local businesses by preserving a key revenue source for town services. The bill was signed into law in August 2025 after passing both legislative chambers.
