This bill extends the expiration date of North Castle's existing occupancy tax from 2025 to 2027. It directly affects the town of North Castle, which collects the tax from short-term rentals and hotels, and the property owners/hotels paying the tax. The key mechanism is amending Section 2 of the 2016 law to change the tax's expiration date from September 1, 2025, to September 1, 2027. The bill does not create new taxes or alter tax rates, only extends the current tax's operational period. It was signed into law as Chapter 227 on August 7, 2025.
This bill extends Albany County's authority to impose an additional 1% sales and use tax (on top of its existing 3% rate) until November 30, 2027. It directly affects residents and businesses in Albany County who pay this tax, as well as local governments that receive tax revenue distributions. The key provision requires the county to distribute the additional tax revenue quarterly to cities and unincorporated areas in the same proportion as its current 3% tax revenue, and to towns/villages in the same manner as the existing tax. The bill also specifies that if any city in the county exercises its separate tax authority, the county does not need to distribute the additional tax revenue during that period. This is a straightforward extension of an existing local tax authorization with clear revenue distribution rules.
This bill extends Westchester County's existing 1% additional sales and use tax, which is in addition to New York State's 4% rate, until November 30, 2027. It directly affects residents and businesses in Westchester County who pay sales tax on goods and services. The extension modifies existing tax law to update the expiration date from 2025 to 2027, maintaining the current tax structure without changing the rate or revenue allocation mechanisms.
This bill extends the existing authority of Cold Spring Village to collect a hotel and motel tax, allowing the village to continue this tax until July 21, 2027. It modifies a 2022 law (Chapter 433) by replacing a temporary "3 years after enactment" expiration with a specific end date. The change directly affects Cold Spring businesses operating hotels or motels and the village's ability to fund local services through this revenue source. The bill does not create a new tax but extends the current one's validity period. (Signed into law July 21, 2025, as Chapter 185.)

The "Private Activity Bond Allocation Act of 2025" establishes a new formula for distributing the statewide volume ceiling for certain tax-exempt private activity bonds. These bonds are used by state and local agencies, as well as other entities, for purposes such as housing, economic development, and job creation. The act divides the statewide ceiling into three main portions: a local agency set-aside based on population, a state agency set-aside, and a statewide bond reserve. This structure aims to provide an orderly and efficient process for allocating these bonds, which require an allocation to maintain their federal tax-exempt status.
