S 8321 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Extends the authorization to have an occupancy tax in the town of Putnam Valley, in the county of Putnam

S 8321 extends the existing authorization for Putnam Valley (in Putnam County) to collect an occupancy tax, which is used to fund local services like tourism promotion or infrastructure. The bill amends a 2023 law by removing its 4-year expiration date, making the tax authority permanent starting immediately. This directly affects Putnam Valley residents and businesses that pay or benefit from the occupancy tax. The change is procedural, with no new tax rates or policies introduced - only the continuation of an existing local tax authority.
