Short-term rentals
Short-term rentals allowed with local rules. Short-term rentals are regulated under Article XV, Short-Term Rental, of the Village Code. § 245-49 legalizes short-term rental establishments existing at adoption, so an operating history does not exempt a property from the article's current requirements. Confirm the permit and registration terms with the Village before listing. New York State's 2025 short-term rental registry (Ch. 99 of the Laws of 2025) separately requires every host statewide to register the unit regardless of local law. Confirm with Village of Angola at (716) 946-6262 before listing.
