Short-term-rental rules
Can you Airbnb in Village of Fishkill, NY?
Researched and reviewed by Jake Lee, FounderCurrent as of July 2026How this atlas is maintained
The Village of Fishkill currently has no short-term-rental law: no village permit, registration, owner-occupancy requirement, or night cap applies to renting a whole home for under 30 days. The village code's only "Rental Units" chapter deals with co-op/condo conversions, and the zoning code neither defines nor restricts short-term rentals. Every local law adopted through April 2026 was checked and none touches STRs, though hosts should still expect Dutchess County occupancy-tax and New York State-level obligations that apply regardless of village rules.
What the rules say in Village of Fishkill
- Village Code Ch. 121, Rental Units (Sec. 121-1 through 121-3, adopted 9-12-1983): the only rental chapter in the code, and it regulates solely cooperative/condominium conversion tenant protections, not short-term or transient rentals.
- Village Code Ch. 171, Zoning, Art. XVII (Title; Definitions): contains no definition of or restriction on short-term rentals; the only transient-lodging uses defined are "boardinghouse" (a family-occupied dwelling housing no more than six boarders, including rooming house, lodging house, and tourist home) and "hotel/motel" (sleeping units for transient travelers staying 30 days or less).
- Post-codification local laws LL No. 1-2023 through LL No. 2-2026 (filed with NY Dept. of State, listed on eCode360 New Laws): none regulates STRs; LL 3-2024 and LL 1-2026 are temporary moratoriums on certain land-use applications (LL 1-2026 limited to the Village Center Business District) and do not mention short-term rentals, and LL 2-2025 (cannabis special uses) and LL 3-2025 (Sec. 171-42 sign regulations) are unrelated.
- No STR chapter exists anywhere in the code: the full chapter list (Ch. 1 through Ch. A173, code current through 2025-01-06) contains no short-term rental, transient rental, or tourist-home local law.

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.
