Short-term rental regulations

Hosts in the Town of Hurley, NY are required to obtain an STR permit from the Town Building Department to host short-term stays. The permit is valid for one year and needs to be renewed annually. Proof of liability insurance is mandatory for STRs and inspections may be required to ensure compliance with regulations. A few important considerations:

• STRs must be owner-occupied.
• STRs are limited to one-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, or accessory dwelling units. Condominiums are not eligible for STRs. Temporary structures like sheds or garages are not permitted.
• You can host up to two guests per bedroom, with a maximum capacity of six people per dwelling unit.

Additional information

Payment

There is a fee associated with the permit, which is determined by the Town Board.

Renewals

The STR permit is valid for one year and needs to be renewed annually. You'll need to submit an annual certification for renewal, confirming that your property remains your primary residence.

Taxes

Every operator is required to have a Certificate of Authority with Ulster County and to file a quarterly occupancy tax return, even if no rental income is reported in a quarter, or if Airbnb collects and pays all the occupancy tax from their operations.

The Town Board will establish an annual fee schedule, which may include taxes, penalties for non-compliance, and limits on the number of permits issued.

Other contracts and rules

It's also important to understand and abide by other contracts or rules that bind you, such as leases, condo board or co-op rules, HOA rules, or rules established by tenant organizations. Please read your lease agreement and check with your landlord if applicable.
