BILL NUMBER:S2062
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the imposition of an occupancy tax in the village of Mamaroneck; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose or general idea of bill
To authorize the Village of Mamaroneck to enact a room occupancy tax not to exceed 3%.
Summary of specific provisions
The tax law is amended to add a new section 1202-x, to authorize the Village of Mamaroneck to enact such a tax.
Existing law
New York State Tax Law; Article 29, Part 1, Sub Part A, is amended to include 1202-x authorizing the Village of Mamaroneck to enact a room occupancy tax
Justification
The Village of Mamaroneck seeks the authority to impose a 3% daily room tax on any room in a hotel, motel, or similar place of public non-property. This tax is intended to raise revenues to support municipal expenses. The tax has been successful in the neighboring cities of New Rochelle, Rye, and White Plains. Chapter 3S 1 of the Laws of 2010 grants similar authority to the village of Rye Brook, which marks the first time such authority was granted to a municipality other than a city.
