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

Section 89-3F says the applicant shall pay a registration fee in the amount set by resolution of the Board of Trustees as the Board deems appropriate, and that the fee will cover administrative costs of compliance with the mandates of the amendment to the 2019 HSTPA. The Code itself holds no figure, so the current amount lives in the Board's resolution rather than in Chapter 89.

The fee sits inside the registration process described in § 89-3. The owner files a copy of the lease, which can have financial information redacted, with an application signed by each owner, and the Building Department registers the unit once the items in § 89-3C(1) through (8) arrive. Section 89-1 explains why the registry exists: a landlord who wants to collect all rent up front on a seasonal rental must enter the dwelling in the Village registry, while units rented for seasonal use are not otherwise required to be entered.

The only other money in Chapter 89 is penalty money. A court in an injunction action can award a penalty of up to $2,500 for each day under § 89-7C, and a summons carries a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of up to $2,500 for each day under § 89-7D. A fee is not a license to exceed the 120-day limit in § 89-3E or to rent for fewer than 14 consecutive days under § 89-4B.
