SERVING Newburgh City
Founder-led stewardship for Newburgh City rental owners
The City of Newburgh has no ordinance that bans or caps short-term rentals, but a whole-home STR is regulated through two general regimes: the city rental license required for any non-owner-occupied rental property, and a 5 percent hotel room occupancy tax that expressly covers short-term and vacation rentals.

GO OR NO GO
The operator's read on Newburgh City
Can I run a short-term rental in Newburgh (City), NY?
Go, with conditions. The rule that decides it: No dedicated short-term rental ordinance: the city code has no STR chapter, day cap, or STR owner-occupancy requirement as of July 2026 (Chapter 240 contains only Rental Licenses, Tenant Maintenance, and Good Cause articles).
What does Newburgh (City) actually require?
Non-owner-occupied rental property requires a city rental license (Ch. 240, Art. I): 'rental property' is defined with no minimum-duration carve-out as buildings with a dwelling or rooming unit 'rented, leased, let, or hired out to be occupied for residential or mixed use... and are not owner-occupied' (Sec. 240-2). Rental license conditions include an inspection before issuance or renewal (Sec. 240-6), a designated local agent aged 21+ residing or officed in New York State (Sec. 240-4), and an occupancy register tracking tenant names and occupancy dates (Sec. 240-10). STR operators must file a certificate of registration with the city's Director of Finance (within 3 days of commencing business) and display the resulting certificate of authority (Sec. 270-83). The governing text is City of Newburgh Code Ch. 240, Art. I (Rental Licenses) and Ch. 270, Art. XIII (Hotel Room Occupancy Tax, Local Law No. 1-2023).
What stands in the way in Newburgh (City)?
No cap, night ceiling or owner-occupancy requirement is recorded for Newburgh (City). Among towns that permit short-term rentals at all, that is the easier end.
What does it cost to get permitted in Newburgh (City)?
Newburgh (City)'s ordinance does not publish a fee schedule in the sources we hold. We confirm current fees with the municipality before you budget for them.
How long does approval take in Newburgh (City)?
Newburgh (City)'s ordinance sets no published processing time, which is true of most towns in this region. We confirm the clerk's current turnaround before you commit to a date, because an unbooked opening season costs more than the permit does.
What would you do with a property in Newburgh (City)?
Workable. Confirm the current permit position with the municipality before you commit, then treat compliance as the first operating task rather than an afterthought. Most of the risk in Newburgh (City) is administrative, not structural.
