ADUs vs. short-term rentals in Sloatsburg

Short-term-rental status not confirmed for Village of Sloatsburg. Short-term rental status not confirmed for the Village of Sloatsburg — Chapter 402 does not address transient rental, and no separate local STR law was found in a 2026-07-21 search of village and county sources. Absence of a found law is NOT permission: call the Building Department at (845) 753-2727 to confirm before listing a property. Separately, since 2025 New York State requires every short-term-rental host to register the unit with the State through the county registry, regardless of what the municipality allows. These are separate questions from whether you can build an ADU — a unit you're allowed to add isn't automatically one you're allowed to rent nightly, so check both.
