Town noise codes apply to STRs across Ulster County. Woodstock and Saugerties enforce 10pm-7am quiet hours with STR-specific penalties including permit revocation.
Most Ulster County towns with STR ordinances require operators to post house rules that include quiet hours (typically 10pm to 7am or 8am) and provide a 24-hour local contact. Woodstock Town Code Chapter 140 (STR) requires the permit holder to respond within 1 hour of a noise complaint; three substantiated complaints within a 12-month period may result in permit revocation. Kingston and New Paltz apply general noise ordinance decibel limits to STR properties, with fines escalating from $250 to $1,000.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
