Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit the Suffolk County 3 percent hotel-motel occupancy tax under voluntary collection agreements. State Bill A8284 would add platform liability for unregistered listings, but until enacted, hosts remain primarily liable for compliance with town registries.
Suffolk County entered a voluntary collection agreement with Airbnb in 2017 covering the 3 percent hotel-motel tax under Chapter 358. Vrbo and similar platforms followed. Platforms remit gross receipts directly to the County Comptroller without disclosing individual host identities, complicating town-level enforcement. New York Assembly Bill A8284 would authorize the state to require platforms to verify a registry number before publishing a listing, mirroring New York City Local Law 18 of 2022. Until the state bill becomes law, Suffolk towns rely on subpoenas and scraping tools to identify unregistered hosts; platforms themselves are not directly fined under current county law.
Listing without a town rental registry number can expose hosts, not platforms, to fines from $1,500 to $8,000. Pending state law would extend liability to platforms that knowingly publish unregistered listings.
