Today, our office released the 2024 Sales Tax Sharing Report showing the total sales tax payments made by Ulster County to the towns, villages and the City of Kingston that are situated within the County.
“Sales tax revenue sharing with local municipalities helps Ulster County’s towns, villages, and city provide critical services for residents,” said Comptroller March Gallagher. We believe that this report will inform the public as well as County and City decision makers as they look to renegotiate the sales tax sharing agreement that is set to expire in February of 2026.”
The report also presents data on how much sales tax revenue neighboring counties share with their local municipalities. Delaware, Greene, and Sullivan Counties share none of their sales tax revenues whereas Columbia, Dutchess and Orange Counties share more than Ulster County.
