No Westchester County occupancy tax on STRs as of early 2026. NY state 4% sales tax applies; platforms collect since March 2025. Westchester hotel tax applies to hotels but not currently to STRs.
Westchester County levies a 3% hotel occupancy tax on traditional hotel stays but has not extended it to platform-based STRs. Under the 2024 NY STR Act effective March 25, 2025, Airbnb and VRBO must collect 4% state sales tax plus 4% Westchester County sales tax on any lawful short-term stays. Local hotels pay Westchester hotel tax directly.
Failure to remit state sales tax: NY Tax Law penalties (50% + interest). Unlawful STRs also subject to zoning fines.
