The Town of Lloyd allows STRs only as an accessory use to an existing or proposed single- or two-family dwelling in the A, R-2, R-1, R-1/2, R-1/4, and CB zoning districts, under Zoning Sec. 100-42.1, and requires both a Planning Board special use permit and an STR permit. The owner must make the dwelling their primary residence at least 180 days per year or be present on the parcel during rentals, which effectively bars non-owner-occupied whole-home STRs. Only one STR per parcel is allowed and none on vacant parcels.

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.
