Assumptions used
- Modeled tax boundary: The estimate includes the New York and Albany County layers for the canonical Albany Place; City registration and County registry duties remain separate compliance steps.
- One aggregate mandatory-fee pool: Enter mandatory lodging fees once. The calculator does not silently classify every exemption or fee category.
- Local registration and change-of-use review: City registration/inspection and the City guide change-of-use signals can affect whether a property may operate; they are disclosed and are not a tax selector.
What may change the final amount
- New York threshold and exemptions. New York guidance includes a more-than-$2-per-unit-per-day threshold, exemptions, and booking-service collection conditions.
- County registration and filing workflow. County Finance materials provide a current 6.5% occupancy-tax form and Local Law K addresses hotel and short-term-rental administration; the calculator does not replace account registration or filing.
- City rental registration and change of use. City registry and residential-property materials identify registration/inspection duties and possible change-of-use review.
Estimated tax is $65.25. Estimated guest total is $515.25.
