Committee introduces countywide short‑term rental registry and occupancy tax local law
Summary
An introductory local law would establish a countywide short‑term rental registry and apply the county occupancy tax to short‑term rental units using the existing hotel‑motel formula; the law takes effect upon filing with the Secretary of State.
Saratoga County’s Law & Finance Committee on April 15 introduced a local law to create a countywide short‑term rental unit registry and to impose the county’s occupancy tax on short‑term rental units using the same formula as the hotel‑motel occupancy tax.
County staff said a public hearing on this local law was held March 11, 2026; if adopted by the Board of Supervisors the local law will take effect upon filing with the New York State Secretary of State. The committee introduced the law as introductory No. 2 (print No. 1 of 2026) and noted budgetary impacts as no net county budget impact in the committee presentation.
The item was presented as part of the Law & Finance slate and advanced by voice vote.
