A 5244 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Extends the effectiveness of an occupancy tax in the town of DeWitt

This bill extends the expiration date of an existing occupancy tax in the town of DeWitt from September 1, 2025, to September 1, 2027. It directly affects hotels, motels, and short-term rental properties within DeWitt that pay this tax on guest stays. The key provision amends the 2023 law by updating the repeal date in the tax code to maintain the tax's current structure through 2027. The bill passed the legislature and was signed into law in August 2025, with no changes to tax rates or collection methods.
