What Ramapo owners get with Palisade
The rules, confirmed before you list
We read Ramapo's ordinance from the primary source and put the citation on the page. Where a permit path is capped, waitlisted, or closed, you hear that before you spend money rather than after.

We hold the short-term rental rules for every mapped town in Rockland County, not just this one. You can read Ramapo's entry and its neighbours' before you ever speak to us.
Operated to one standard
Pricing, guest communication, turnovers and upkeep run on one system. You get founder-led oversight and clear monthly reporting, not a hands-off channel manager.
GO OR NO GO
The operator's read on Ramapo
Can I run a short-term rental in Ramapo (Town), NY?
Go, with conditions. The rule that decides it: Zoning definitions still constrain use: a "dwelling unit" is limited to one "family" (persons related, or up to 4 unrelated, living as a single housekeeping unit), and boarding/rooming houses are excluded from the dwelling-unit definition; operating like a hotel (transient accommodations for 10+ persons with services) is a separate use requiring a Planning Board special permit (§ 376-122).
What does Ramapo (Town) actually require?
Operator registration required for the tax: file a certificate of registration with the Receiver of Taxes (within 3 days of commencing business), display the issued certificate of authority, keep records, and remit quarterly returns (§§ 253-65 to 253-66). The governing text is Town of Ramapo Local Law No. 4-2024 (Hotel Room Occupancy Tax), Town Code Ch. 253, Art. XVIII, §§ 253-60 to 253-72; Town Code Ch. 376 (Zoning), § 376-5 definitions and § 376-122 (Hotels).
