What's happening

This bill extends the expiration of the Rye Brook village occupancy tax from September 1, 2019, to September 1, 2022.

Why it matters

  1. Continued Revenue for Local Services. Extending the occupancy tax allows Rye Brook village to keep generating revenue from hotel stays, which can fund local services, infrastructure, or community projects without raising property taxes.

  2. Stable Financial Planning. The extension provides financial stability for village budgeting, as officials can count on this source of income for an additional three years, aiding in more accurate long-term planning.

  3. Potential Impact on Visitors and Local Economy. By maintaining the tax, the cost of staying at hotels in Rye Brook remains slightly higher, which could influence tourism, visitor spending, and the competitiveness of local accommodations compared to neighboring areas without such a tax.
