Hi Kathryn
I host in Ulster county and have been in conversation with the Finance guy, Burt Gulnick who sent the threatening letters regarding the bed tax. I am in the process of searching out a class action attorney. We think we have a case. At this time Ulster county has no plan to go into an agreement with airbnb to collect the tax. Three counties around us have made the agreement. Many of us are refusing to pay the tax until it is collected properly, ie: by Airbnb!
email me at *email hidden for privacy* if you want to added to the list of hosts who are joining me to get this worked out.
