Short-term rentals
Short-term rentals prohibited. Short-term rentals are BANNED. § 235-12.1C of the Village Zoning Code makes it unlawful to rent, license, or OFFER to rent any living accommodation in any residentially zoned district for less than 30 consecutive nights unless separately licensed for that use, and § 235-12.1C(2) bars the occupant side as well. § 235-12.1B defines a SHORT-TERM RENTAL as under 29 consecutive nights and expressly extends it to timeshares and other right-of-occupancy arrangements, so restructuring the ownership does not avoid it. A renter from a violating owner is an accessory (C(5)); enforcement is a warning then penalties under § 235-84, plus injunctive relief. § 235-12.1D(1) applies the ban to all single-family, two-family and multiple-family dwellings, and D(2) exempts ONLY a lawfully licensed hotel/motel or bed-and-breakfast. 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.
