Ulster County

Building in Ulster County, NY: zoning by town

Ulster County is where a lot of land-first building happens in the Hudson Valley, and the zoning changes the moment you cross a town line. Woodstock caps short-term rental nights, Kingston runs a form-based code with zero-setback main-street zones, and the rural towns swing from half-acre to five-acre minimums. Pick a town below for the actual districts, setbacks, and STR rules - the figures come straight from each municipality's code.
