ADUs vs. short-term rentals in Pelham Manor
No local short-term-rental law on record - which is not the same as permission for Village of Pelham Manor. No local STR ordinance found as of Jun 2026; standard village zoning and building codes apply. Westchester County hotel occupancy tax (3%) applies to short-term stays. 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.
