Broome County imposes no annual night cap on short-term rentals. Unlike NYC Local Law 18, upstate NY has no statutory cap on rental days or host-present requirement. Under the December 2024 statewide STR law, platforms like Airbnb and VRBO must collect and remit 4% state sales tax plus local taxes starting March 25, 2025.
Broome County has no countywide STR night cap. Binghamton, Johnson City, Vestal, and Endicott also do not impose annual day limits. This contrasts with NYC Local Law 18 (effective September 2023), which caps short-term rentals to host-present stays under 30 days with city registration — those rules do not apply upstate. Governor Hochul signed the first statewide STR framework on December 21, 2024 (chapter amendment finalized February 2025); effective March 25, 2025, platforms must collect 4% state sales tax plus local taxes and report quarterly to the NY Tax Department. Broome County may create a county-wide STR registry under the new law but has not done so. Individual Broome County STR hosts may operate year-round subject to local zoning (Binghamton restricts STRs in R-1 zones) and tax registration with the state.
Zoning violations $100-$500 per day in Binghamton; platform-level tax non-compliance enforced by NY Department of Taxation and Finance.
