Short-term rental regulations

Hosts in Marbletown are required to obtain an annual Short-Term Rental permit to host short-term stays (fewer than 30 nights). See the full ordinance here. Some properties are subject to additional regulations:

• STRs are limited to 2 guests per bedroom, with a maximum of 10 guests per property. Children under 8 years old do not count toward this total.
• STRs may only be rented to one group at a time.
• Property owners are allowed to register one owner-occupied STR and one non-owner-occupied STR.
• STRs are permitted in all zoning districts except Industrial areas. STRs are not allowed in multi-family buildings with 3 or more units, unless the owner occupies one of the units.
• Exterior advertising for STRs is prohibited, and temporary structures cannot be used for short-term rentals.

Additional information

Payment

Hosts operating a short-term rental must submit an annual permit application and pay a fee set by the Town Board each year.

Renewals

You’ll need to renew your short-term rental permit annually and pay a fee determined by the Town Board. Licenses expire one year from the date they are issued.

Taxes

Every operator is required to have a Certificate of Authority with Ulster County and to file a quarterly occupancy tax return, even if no rental income is reported in a quarter, or if Airbnb collects and pays all the occupancy tax from their operations.

The Town Board will establish an annual fee schedule, which may include taxes, penalties for non-compliance, and limits on the number of permits issued.

Other contracts and rules

It's also important to understand and abide by other contracts or rules that bind you, such as leases, condo board or co-op rules, HOA rules, or rules established by tenant organizations. Please read your lease agreement and check with your landlord if applicable.
