Board approves local law to opt out of New York short-term rental registry
Summary
The Allegany County Board of Legislators voted 14–0 (1 absent) on May 27 to adopt a local law opting out of the New York State short-term rental registry requirement; the resolution was offered by Ways & Means and approved on roll call.
The Allegany County Board of Legislators on May 27 passed a local law to opt the county out of the New York State short-term rental registry requirement.
The resolution (Intro No. 2 of 2026, resolution intro number 2-34-26) was offered by the Ways & Means committee, seconded on the floor, called for roll call and passed with 14 ayes and one absence. The chair closed a public hearing on the measure earlier in the meeting after no members of the public came forward to comment.
During the roll call recorded by the clerk/staff, the following votes were recorded as 'yes' (as read aloud during the roll call): Munier, Ricky, Rickett Swails, Stocken, Whitney, Barnes, Bassett, Burdick, Curran, Demick, Hanchett, Harris, Havey and Healy. The meeting record shows one absence for the session.
Board members and staff noted that the resolution had committee approval. No amendments or substantive floor debate were recorded in the transcript; the measure moved from committee to the floor and was approved on the same day.
Because the action is an opt-out of a state administrative requirement, county staff will implement the local law as adopted; the transcript does not specify the effective date or further administrative steps, which were not provided during discussion.
