Several Ulster County towns cap non-owner-occupied STR rental nights. Woodstock limits unhosted STRs; Kingston restricts non-primary-residence rentals.
Woodstock Local Law 3 of 2021 distinguishes between owner-occupied (hosted) STRs and non-owner-occupied (unhosted). Unhosted STRs face stricter caps and are limited in certain zoning districts. Kingston STR regulations (2022) generally prohibit non-owner-occupied STRs outside of designated commercial districts. New Paltz caps non-primary-residence STRs. No county-wide night cap exists; it varies dramatically by municipality. Hosted STRs (owner lives on-site) are treated more permissively everywhere.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
