This bill limits annual changes to property tax class assessments in Haverstraw, Rockland County, for 2025-2026. It prevents any single property class from having its tax base proportion increase by more than 1% from the previous year's adjusted rate, unless the town first passes a local law approving the change. The law applies only to Haverstraw's approved assessing unit and requires the town's legislative body to adjust class proportions if the 1% limit is triggered. This directly affects property owners in Haverstraw whose tax classifications might otherwise shift significantly year-to-year.
S 7790 authorizes the village of Croton-on-Hudson to impose a 3% tax on hotel and motel stays for short-term guests (less than 90 consecutive days), excluding permanent residents. Hotels and motels would collect the tax from guests and remit it to the village, with revenues deposited into the village’s general fund for any lawful purpose. The tax would expire after two years, and the bill includes specific collection rules and exemptions for certain entities like government bodies and nonprofits. This directly affects hotels, motels, and bed-and-breakfast facilities operating within Croton-on-Hudson.
S 8155 allows the cities of Utica and Rome to impose a 3% occupancy tax on hotel, motel, and bed-and-breakfast stays for guests renting rooms overnight. The tax applies to the daily rental cost of rooms (not long-term stays), collected by property owners and paid to the city. It excludes government entities, non-profits meeting specific criteria, and permanent residents (those staying 90+ consecutive days). All revenue must go to the city’s general fund for municipal services, with local laws limited to two-year terms.
This bill (S 4073) authorizes the town of Dickinson, New York, to impose a local tax of up to 3% on hotel and motel room rentals within its boundaries. The tax would apply to short-term stays (not permanent residents), with revenue collected by the town’s chief fiscal officer and deposited into the town’s general fund for any lawful purpose. Exemptions include government entities, qualifying non-profits, and guests staying 30+ consecutive days. The bill provides mechanisms for tax collection, reporting, and dispute resolution but does not mandate the tax - Dickinson must adopt local laws to implement it.
This bill (S 1515) changes how local governments in New York calculate property tax levies by removing costs for emergency medical services (EMS) from the tax levy cap. It directly affects cities, towns, and counties that provide EMS, allowing them to fund these services without counting those expenses toward their annual property tax limit. The key provision adds a new exemption (subparagraph v) to the tax levy calculation, explicitly excluding EMS expenditures from the cap. This is a technical adjustment to the tax formula, not a new funding source or policy shift for EMS services themselves.
