NY’s Chester Could Soon Slap Your Hotel Bill With a Shocking New Tax!
A newly introduced bill, A 1969, is poised to authorize the village of Chester in New York to impose a hotel and motel tax. Sponsored by Maher, this measure aims to generate additional revenue by taxing short-term lodging accommodations within the village. The bill includes provisions that specify the tax will be repealed once it expires, ensuring its temporary nature.
Having been delivered to the governor, the bill is now awaiting approval to take effect. If signed into law, visitors staying in Chester’s hotels and motels may notice an increase in their bills due to this new taxation. Proponents argue the measure could help boost local funding for community projects, while opponents worry about potential impacts on tourism and lodging affordability.
