Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

30-day window to appeal occupancy tax

If you disagree with a final Baldwinsville occupancy tax bill, you can ask the New York Supreme Court to review it. You must file within 30 days after you get notice of the final determination. To file, you must either deposit the tax (with interest and penalties) and give a surety undertaking, or post an undertaking that covers taxes, interest, penalties, and costs. You can also seek court review within 30 days after a refund is denied. Except for willful false or fraudulent returns, no extra tax can be assessed more than 3 years after a return is filed.

Who is exempt from Baldwinsville hotel tax

The tax does not apply to New York State or its local governments. It does not apply to the U.S. where it is immune. Qualifying nonprofits run only for religious, charitable, or educational purposes are exempt. People who live in a hotel or motel for 90 straight days or more are exempt as “permanent residents.”

Up to 5% hotel tax in Baldwinsville

Baldwinsville can charge a lodging tax up to 5% of the nightly room rate. It applies to hotels, motels, and similar short stays. The tax is added to your bill at checkout. This state authority expires December 31, 2027. Any local tax law can run for up to two years at a time.

Baldwinsville lodging owners must collect tax

The village’s chief fiscal officer administers and collects the occupancy tax. Local law can require owners or managers to collect the tax from guests and pay it to the village. Owners can treat the tax like part of the rent they charge. If an owner sues to collect the tax, the village fiscal officer must be a party. The village sets how often returns and payments are due, monthly or on another schedule.
