Orange County NY has no countywide cap on STR rental nights, but several towns impose limits on non-owner-occupied rentals. Warwick allows unlimited nights for permitted STRs; Tuxedo and Woodbury have caps in the 90-180 night range for non-owner-occupied rentals. Hosts in Newburgh, Middletown, and Goshen should verify town zoning before assuming unlimited operation.
Because NY's statewide STR framework (effective March 25, 2025) does not set night caps, all rental-night limits remain local. Town of Warwick §164-47.4 permits unlimited nights for fully permitted STRs. Town of Tuxedo and Town of Woodbury have discussed 180-night caps for non-owner-occupied units in recent zoning amendments. The City of Newburgh and City of Middletown regulate STRs primarily through zoning (permitted use only in certain districts) rather than night caps. Owner-occupied 'hosted' stays typically face fewer restrictions than whole-house rentals. Always confirm with the town building/zoning office; violating a night cap exposes hosts to per-night fines ($250-$1,000) and potential revocation.
Exceeding local night caps: $250-$1,000 per night in towns with caps. Unpermitted STR operation: up to $1,000 per day plus injunctive relief. Repeat violations may trigger permit revocation and zoning enforcement action.
