Stays of 30 days or longer are exempt from Suffolk County hotel-motel occupancy tax and most town short-term rental registries. Extended home-shares fall under New York Real Property Law and the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act rather than transient-rental ordinances.
Suffolk County Code Chapter 358 defines a taxable hotel stay as occupancy under 30 consecutive days. East End town rental registries similarly exempt long-term tenancies from short-term rental rules. Once a stay reaches 30 days, the relationship converts to a residential tenancy governed by New York Real Property Law Article 7 and the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019, which extends statewide notice and security-deposit rules. Hosts using extended home-share platforms like Furnished Finder or Kopa typically fall outside short-term rental enforcement but assume landlord obligations including habitability under RPL Section 235-b.
Misclassifying a transient stay as long-term to avoid the county hotel tax can trigger back assessments, 5 percent penalty, and 1 percent monthly interest under Chapter 358 audits.
