Relates to extending the authorization for Ontario county to impose additional rates of sales and compensating use taxes
This bill extends Ontario County's authority to impose additional sales and use taxes until 2027. It authorizes two specific rate increases: a one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) additional tax for most of the period, and a higher three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) additional tax for a later portion of the period. These increases build on the county's existing 3% sales tax rate. The policy directly affects Ontario County residents and businesses by allowing the county to collect these additional tax revenues for local services.
