S 816 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Specifies the occupancy tax in the village of Catskill shall only apply to hotels and motels

This bill clarifies that Catskill Village's occupancy tax applies exclusively to hotels, motels, and similar overnight lodging facilities (including bed-and-breakfasts and tourist facilities), excluding short-term rentals like Airbnb properties. It specifies the tax rate at 4% of the room rate, with exemptions for permanent residents staying 30+ consecutive days. The tax must be collected by property owners from guests and remitted to the village, with owners having the same collection rights as rent. This amendment refines existing tax law to limit the tax's scope to traditional lodging businesses.
