HostReadyHobart, NY does not appear in our data as having a city-level STR ordinance, and New York State does not preempt local STR regulation, meaning cities retain full authority to ban STRs, cap permits, require licenses, and restrict rental frequency. The state imposes a 4% sales tax on lodging, though NYC and many counties add substantial local rates on top. Because upstate New York cities vary significantly in their approach, you should contact Hobart's local authority directly to confirm any village or town-level rules that may apply to your property.
