Summary

The board adopted Local Law No. 3 (short‑term rental), establishing a permit requirement for rentals under 30 days and fines for unregistered operators; enforcement will use county lists and outreach.

Trustees voted to adopt local law number 3 of 2026 to regulate short‑term rentals in the village, creating a permit requirement for all rentals under 30 days and enforcement authority for code and police. As presented to the board, the proposal includes fines “up to a $100 a day or 1000 dollars for willful violations,” and staff said the village will review county listings to identify existing rentals.

The presenter said the intent is to give the village “more resources to stop people from doing this” and to protect residents from disruptive events linked to unregistered rentals. The board approved the law by roll call; copies were made available at the back of the meeting room and the village will set permit fees by resolution at a later date.
