Huntington does not impose a specific annual night cap on short-term rentals, but STR operations in residential zones must remain accessory to residential use. Frequent turnover can trigger commercial use violations under Chapter 198 zoning and jeopardize rental permit renewal.
Unlike some New York jurisdictions Huntington does not set an explicit numerical cap on annual rental nights. However Chapter 198 zoning limits residential properties to residential use, and high-frequency STR operation may be deemed an impermissible commercial use. Owner-occupied properties have more flexibility. Non-owner-occupied STRs are scrutinized more closely during Chapter 160 rental permit renewals. The Town has discussed stricter STR caps periodically but no specific night limit is currently codified.
