When deciding whether to become an Airbnb host, it is important for you to understand the laws in your region or city. As a platform and online marketplace we do not provide legal advice, but we want to provide resources that may help you better understand applicable laws and regulations. This list is not exhaustive, but it may give you a good start in understanding your local laws. If you have questions, visit the short-term rental homepage or other government agencies directly, or consult a local lawyer or tax professional.
Hosts in Rhinebeck are required to obtain a short term rental permit to host short-term stays (fewer than 30 nights). See full ordinance here.
All hosts must fill out an application and submit it to the Town of Rhinebeck’s Code Enforcement Officer, along with a permit fee.
A few listing types are exempt from registering as short-term rentals:
You’ll need to renew your license every two years, 30 days prior to the expiration of your current permit. More here.
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.
We are committed to working with local officials to clarify how local rules impact the community. We will continue to advocate for changes that will enable people to rent out their homes.
