A 10228 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the city of Batavia to impose a hotel and motel tax

This bill authorizes the city of Batavia to impose a hotel and motel tax of up to 3% on daily room rates for short-term stays. It directly affects hotels, motels, and "bed and breakfast" facilities within Batavia, excluding permanent residents (staying 30+ consecutive days) and certain exempt entities like government bodies and nonprofit organizations. The tax must be collected by property owners and paid to the city, with revenues split: 4% for administrative costs and the remainder for community development, tourism, and planning. The bill specifies collection procedures, review processes for disputes, and a three-year maximum tax period for local laws implementing it.
