Pending NY State legislation A8284 would require Airbnb, Vrbo, and similar platforms to verify a host's local registration before publishing a Westchester County listing, shifting compliance burden from individual hosts to the platforms themselves.
New York's proposed statewide short-term-rental registry, modeled on NYC Local Law 18, would require booking platforms to confirm a valid local STR registration number for any listing in Westchester. Platforms would face civil penalties up to $1,500 per non-compliant listing per booking. Westchester villages with existing STR codes, such as Yonkers and New Rochelle, would issue the registration numbers; the state would maintain the central database. Until A8284 passes, platforms have no formal verification duty in Westchester, though Airbnb voluntarily collects local taxes in many municipalities.
Platforms publishing unregistered Westchester listings would face $1,500 fines per booking under the pending state framework.
