Purpose and Intent

This bill extends the authorization for Onondaga County to impose an additional 1% sales and compensating use tax rate. The additional tax rate was originally authorized in 2020 and is set to expire on November 30, 2025. This legislation extends the authorization for the additional tax rate through November 30, 2030.

The purpose is to provide Onondaga County with continued revenue to fund critical public services and infrastructure projects. The additional tax revenue has been used to support initiatives such as road and bridge maintenance, public safety, and economic development programs.

Key Provisions

  • Extends the authorization for Onondaga County to impose an additional 1% sales and compensating use tax rate from November 30, 2025 to November 30, 2030
  • Maintains the existing requirement that the county must use the revenue from the additional tax rate for specific purposes, including:
    • Road, bridge, and highway construction and maintenance
    • Public safety and emergency services
    • Economic development and job creation initiatives
    • Property tax relief

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Onondaga County residents and businesses will continue to pay the additional 1% sales and use tax rate on applicable purchases
  • The county government will have continued access to the additional tax revenue to fund public services and infrastructure
  • Consumers in Onondaga County will see a 1% increase in the total sales tax rate they pay, which could impact household budgets and spending

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

  • The bill was signed into law on March 15, 2025, extending the additional tax rate authorization for 5 more years
  • The additional 1% sales and use tax rate will remain in effect in Onondaga County through November 30, 2030, unless further legislative action is taken
  • The county must continue to use the revenue from the additional tax rate for the specified purposes outlined in the legislation
