Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Albany municipalities share extra sales tax revenue

When Albany County imposes the extra 1% tax, it must share net collections quarterly with cities and areas outside cities. Shares must match those used for its 3% tax on the date this law took effect. Towns and villages must receive their portions in the same manner used on that date. The sharing requirement does not apply while any city in the county imposes its own tax under its statutory priority. This rule shares existing tax revenue; it does not create a separate funding source or household payment.

Albany County extends extra sales tax authority

Effective immediately, the law extends Albany County’s extra sales and use tax authority from November 30, 2025, through November 30, 2027. The county can charge 1 percentage point above its base 3% rate, for a total county rate of 4%. The law does not impose the extra tax itself; the county must adopt it locally. When in effect, the extra tax adds $1 per $100 in taxable purchases.
