🚨 Important tax information for Onondaga County Hosts and Vacation Rental Owners!🚨
Reminder about new(ish) tax requirements for the county! Sharing the below from Onondaga County!
Onondaga County has updated our ROT (Room Occupancy Tax) website and implemented a new online registry effective from Q2 2026 moving forward. This new registry system now better aligns with the updated NYS Law. We recognize that you may have previously registered and have a current COA (Certificate of Authority) number; however, we are asking our hotel/motel/B&B partners to re-register as if they are new. From there, the County will reissue a new COA with a different number, and you will be able to make online payments.
Registry instructions can be found on the website (linked below in the comments!).
Once the new license is issued you will be able to pay ROT online or via check. We appreciate your patience with us as we move through these updates. If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you for your attention and cooperation during this transition.
Please note the due dates for filing quarterly tax returns are as follows:
Jan.-March 1st Quarter April 20th
April-June 2nd Quarter July 20th
July-Sept. 3rd Quarter October 20th
Oct.-Dec. 4th Quarter January 20th
We at Onondaga County encourage you to go to the websites below for obligations that are required and for further information as needed.
