Researched and reviewed by Jake Lee, FounderCurrent as of July 2026How this atlas is maintained
Short-term rentals are prohibited throughout the Village of Grand View-on-Hudson. Local Law No. 3 of 2021 amended the village Zoning Law to define any paid occupancy of a dwelling by someone other than the owner for less than three continuous months as "transient" use and banned transient use of any building or property village-wide, with the stated intent of "prohibiting short-term rental" of single-family residences. Any Airbnb-style stay under 30 nights (or anything under 3 months) is illegal; the only rental-adjacent option is hosting up to two long-term boarders inside an owner's home under a Zoning Board special permit.

What the rules say in Village of Grand View-on-Hudson
- Local Law No. 3 of 2021 defines TRANSIENT as "the use or occupancy of a dwelling unit for the payment of money or other thing of value by a person or persons not the property owner of such dwelling unit, for a period of less than three continuous months."
- The same law amends Zoning Law Ch. VI(B): "there shall be no transient use of any building or property within the Village" except by Special Permit or for police-approved filming; its stated intent is "prohibiting short-term rental" of single-family residences.
- The Zoning Law's special permit list (Ch. X(J)) contains only Home Occupations, Boarders or Roomers, and Religious/Educational uses; there is no STR, tourist home, B&B, hotel, or transient-rental use category anywhere in the code.
- Home Occupations expressly exclude "transient accommodations" (Ch. IV definition, item 5), so an STR cannot be run as a home business.
- Boarders/Roomers require a Zoning Board of Appeals special permit: maximum two per dwelling, they must reside within the dwelling unit (not an accessory building), with no separate cooking facilities and no separate entrance; the use must be incidental to single-family occupancy (Ch. X(K)(2)).
- The entire village consists of two residential zones, R-22 and R-10 (Ch. V); there is no commercial or business district (Ch. VI(B)), and any use not specifically listed as permitted is deemed prohibited (Ch. VI(E)).
- Practical effect: minimum lawful rental term is three continuous months; whole-home and room rentals under 30 nights are both prohibited.

How short-term rentals are regulated in New York
- New York has no single statewide short-term-rental ban. Towns, villages, and cities set their own rules through local ordinances and zoning, so rules can differ sharply between neighboring municipalities in the same county.
- Short stays in New York are generally subject to state and local sales tax, and many counties add a local occupancy (hotel/motel) tax, often collected by the booking platform on the host's behalf.
- Common local controls include permits or registration, primary-residence requirements, and zoning limits on which districts allow short-term use. In New York, a town and a village inside it can each have their own rule.
- Rules change. An ordinance can be added or amended at any time. Always confirm the current rule with the municipality before listing.
