Catskill Regulations
Short‑term rentals are explicitly allowed in both the Town and Village with clear permit and inspection processes, and fees are moderate ($375 initial/$125 renewal in the Village), but not minimal. Operational rules include a local 30‑minute contact for non‑owner‑occupied units, safety/inspection requirements, and multiple tax obligations (state, county, and pending Village occupancy tax). Enforcement is active with potential fines and permit loss, but caps are not disclosed as restrictive, keeping investor risk manageable.
