Short-term rentals
Short-term rentals allowed with local rules. Short-term rental of a residential dwelling is regulated under § 235-12.1 of the Zoning Code, added 6-13-2017 by L.L. No. 4-2017. The Town Board's stated basis is that one- and two-family dwellings and apartment interiors are not covered by the State Uniform Code, so STR use of them is regulated directly. Chapter 235 has been amended repeatedly through 2025 (L.L. Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of 2025), so confirm the current text before relying on it. 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 Town of Blooming Grove at (845) 497-1002 before listing.
