Suffolk County levies a 3% hotel/motel occupancy tax on transient lodging stays under 30 days, on top of New York State sales tax, totaling roughly 7% combined for guests at Hamptons and East End accommodations.
Suffolk County Local Law imposes a 3% tax on rent for occupancy of any hotel, motel, B&B, or tourist home for stays under 30 consecutive days. Combined with the 4% New York State sales tax, guests pay approximately 7% in total lodging taxes. Hamptons and North Fork resort properties remit quarterly to the Suffolk County Treasurer. Online platforms like Airbnb collect on hosts' behalf for short-term rentals. Operators must register, file returns, and remit promptly; the county uses revenue partly for tourism promotion.
Failure to register, collect, or remit the 3% occupancy tax exposes operators to back taxes, interest, and penalties under Suffolk County Treasurer enforcement.
