A 7854 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the town of Patterson to impose a hotel and motel tax

This bill authorizes the town of Patterson to impose a tax of up to 5% on hotel and motel room rentals, including bed and breakfasts and tourist facilities, but not on guests staying 90+ consecutive days (defined as "permanent residents"). Hotels and motels would collect the tax from guests and remit it to the town’s chief fiscal officer, with exemptions for state/federal government, non-profits, and other specified entities. All tax revenue would go into Patterson’s general fund for any lawful purpose, such as public services or infrastructure. The authorization expires two years after the bill takes effect.
