Hamburg Village, NY Short-Term Rentals: Taxes & Fees (2026)

The Village of Hamburg fee schedule in Chapter A255 lists the certificate of registration fee for operating a short-term rental under § 250-23.22 at $250 per year for new applications and $150 for a renewal, and says the fee may be prorated. Section 250-23.22B(2)(h) makes payment of the registration fee set by the Village Board part of the application, and the Village Clerk issues the certificate only upon payment of the appropriate registration fee. The Editor's Note to Chapter A255 states that future fee amendments are adopted by resolution of the Board of Trustees.

The proration rules sit in § 250-23.22D(1). All registrations are annual, paid for on or before June 1, and expire May 31 of the following year. A registrant beginning business after June 1 and before December 1 can obtain a new registration on application and payment of the appropriate annual registration fee, and it expires on May 31. A registrant beginning business after November 30 and before May 30 pays 1/2 of the appropriate annual registration fee, and that registration also expires on May 31.

Renewal under § 250-23.22D(2) is requested on or before June 1 by presenting the prior year's registration, or satisfactory evidence of its loss or destruction, to the Village Clerk and paying the fee. The registration fee is separate from the other licenses or permits required by the Code, Erie County and New York State.
