S 4495: Extends the village of Goshen's authority to impose a hotel and motel tax

S 4495 extends the Village of Goshen’s existing authority to collect a hotel and motel tax of up to 5% for an additional two years. This bill directly affects hotels and motels operating within Goshen, allowing them to continue paying the tax under the current rate. The key provision modifies the expiration date of the tax authority, ensuring it remains valid through 2027 (based on the 2023 law’s original timeline). As a procedural extension, it does not change the tax rate or scope, only the duration of the village’s legal authority to impose it. The bill was signed into law on August 7, 2025.

A 8568: Relates to base proportions in Nassau and Suffolk counties

Bill A8568 limits annual increases in property tax base proportions for Nassau and Suffolk counties. For Nassau County, local approval is required to cap annual increases at 1% per year; Suffolk County gets a 2% cap for most years but a 1% cap specifically for the 2025-2026 tax year. If calculations would exceed these limits, local governments must adjust other tax classes to ensure total base proportions equal 100%. The law applies to tax levies based on the 2025 assessment rolls in these counties.
