BILL NUMBER:S1183

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.
