Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Nassau towns and cities keep tax aid

Nassau County must continue aid for towns and cities through 2027 to ease property taxes, waste costs, and environmental costs. For 2025, 2026, and 2027, they collectively receive one-third of county revenue from the additional 0.75% sales and use tax. Shares depend on population counts from the latest federal census taken every 10 years. Towns may put some or all of their aid into improvement or special district accounts for these purposes. The program bars towns and cities from separately claiming this additional-tax revenue under another state tax provision.

Nassau villages remain eligible for optional aid

Nassau County retains authority through 2027 to create a village aid program by local law; funding remains optional. Annual aid is capped at one-sixth of additional 0.75% sales and use tax revenue left after town and city funding. Village shares depend on population counts from the latest federal census taken every 10 years. The aid aims to ease property taxes, waste costs, and conservation and environmental program costs. Establishing the program bars villages from separately claiming this additional-tax revenue under another state tax provision.

Nassau hotel and ticket taxes continue

The law extends Nassau County’s hotel and motel tax authority through December 31, 2027. The local law imposing the tax must end it on that date. Entertainment ticket surcharge rules also continue through December 31, 2027. Guests and ticket buyers pay these charges on covered stays and events. The extension does not specify the charge amounts.

Nassau shoppers keep paying added sales taxes

The law takes effect immediately and extends Nassau County’s additional sales and use tax authority through November 30, 2027. The authorized additions are 0.75% and 0.50%, on top of the regular 3% county rate. Purchases covered by both additions carry $1.25 in extra county tax for every $100 spent. This continues existing taxing authority rather than raising the authorized rates. The authority remains subject to Tax Law section 1262-e.
