Short-term-rental rules
Short-term rental rules, county by county
Palisade Stays serves Northern New Jersey and the Lower Hudson Valley. We keep plain-English, source-cited short-term-rental rules references, town by town, across nine home counties: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, and Passaic in New Jersey, and Rockland, Westchester, Orange, Putnam, and Dutchess in New York. The map below shows the same rules at a glance; pick a county underneath to see its towns grouped by status.
Rules by county

- Comparatively more restricted
- Mixed
- Comparatively more open
- Mapping in progress
Shaded relative to the counties we have mapped. Even the most open is still limited: confirm your town.
If your town says no
Prohibited in your town? You still have a play.
Most local bans outlaw paid stays of 30 nights or less, and leave furnished rentals longer than 30 nights fully legal. Furnished mid-term and turnkey rentals serve relocations, traveling professionals, insurance housing, and corporate stays.
