Hotel Tax in Each Municipality

Hotel Tax in Each Municipality by klancellotti

What does this measure?

This indicator measures the percentage of hotel tax levied in various municipalities in Orange County. The data lists each town and village and its corresponding hotel tax rate, providing a clear overview of local taxation policies on lodging.

Summary Statement

The data reveals that hotel tax rates vary across the county. Several municipalities, such as the Town of Chester, Town of Cornwall, Town of Highlands, and the City of Newburgh, as well as others, have a tax rate of up to 5%, while others, like the City of Port Jervis and the Village of Highland Falls, have a 3% tax. A significant number of municipalities, however, are listed as "N/A," indicating they either do not have a separate hotel tax or the information was not available.
