Most Ulster County town STR ordinances cap occupancy at 2 per bedroom plus 2, with hard ceilings around 10-12 guests. Septic capacity limits apply in unsewered areas.
Woodstock Town Code Chapter 140 limits STR occupancy to 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional, with a maximum of 10 guests regardless of bedroom count. Saugerties uses a similar 2-per-bedroom formula. In unsewered areas (most of the Catskills portion of Ulster County), NY DOH septic design capacity further limits occupancy; operators must provide the septic design flow with their permit application. Events and large gatherings are prohibited at STRs in most Ulster towns.
