Oneida County bed tax registration required countywide for any operator renting under 30 days. Town of Webb requires separate annual STR permit registration. Utica and Rome have no separate STR registry beyond zoning.
Oneida County levies a 5% hotel/motel occupancy tax (Local Law 2 of 1991, as amended) on all transient rentals under 30 days, administered by the Oneida County Treasurer. Operators must register, collect the tax, and file quarterly returns. Beginning March 25, 2025, platforms like Airbnb and VRBO are required by NY statewide law (signed by Governor Hochul December 21, 2024) to collect and remit the 4% state sales tax plus local occupancy taxes directly. The Town of Webb (Old Forge/Adirondack region) adopted a comprehensive STR permit law requiring annual registration, life-safety inspections, posted occupancy limits, and responsible-agent contact information; Webb hosts the majority of Oneida County STRs due to its Adirondack tourism base. Utica, Rome, New Hartford, and Whitestown have no separate STR registries but enforce their underlying zoning, which typically requires STRs to comply with dwelling use rules and parking standards.
Failure to collect/remit Oneida County bed tax: penalty of 10% of tax due plus interest. Town of Webb STR permit violations: $250 first offense, up to $1,000 repeat, plus potential permit revocation and eviction of guests.
