Nassau County and its villages increasingly hold booking platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com responsible for collecting hotel tax, verifying host registrations, and removing listings flagged for noncompliance with local STR ordinances.
Nassau County's Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax law treats platforms as room remarketers required to collect and remit the 3 percent county tax along with NY sales tax. Several villages have signed Good Neighbor Memoranda obliging platforms to remove listings without a valid municipal STR registration number on the listing page. The pending NY State STR Registry Act (A8284) extends platform duties statewide, requiring listings to display a state registration number and barring platforms from processing payment for unregistered units. Federal Section 230 limits some claims but tax-collection and registration-display duties survive preemption challenges.
Platforms that process bookings for unregistered Nassau properties face civil penalties up to $5,000 per booking, loss of remarketer registration, and exposure to Nassau County Attorney injunctive actions in NY Supreme Court.
