New York does not preempt local STR regulation, meaning cities have full authority to ban STRs, cap permits, require licenses, and restrict rental frequency. Syracuse does not appear in our data as having a city-level STR ordinance, so you should contact Syracuse city authorities directly to confirm any local rules, permits, or zoning requirements that may apply to your property. On the tax side, New York imposes a 4% state sales tax, and local jurisdictions in New York often add substantial additional rates, so verify the full local tax stack with the appropriate authority.
