When deciding whether to become an Airbnb host, it is important for you to understand the laws in your region or city. As a platform and online marketplace we do not provide legal advice, but we want to provide resources that may help you better understand applicable laws and regulations. This list is not exhaustive, but it may give you a good start in understanding your local laws. If you have questions, visit the short-term rental homepage or other government agencies directly, or consult a local lawyer or tax professional.
Hosts in Oneonta are required to obtain a short-term rental permit to host short-term stays (fewer than 30 nights). See full ordinance here.
If you have additional questions about the requirements for hosting in Oneonta, we recommend reaching out to the City directly.
The total cost for a short-term rental permit is $300.
The City requires that hosts renew their short-term rental permit annually. Only properties that have been issued a permit for the previous year's summer rental season are eligible for renewal. It’s important to note that the renewal application for a short-term rental permit must be filed by the legal owner of the property or an approved agent acting on behalf of the legal owner.
It's also important to understand and abide by other contracts or rules that bind you, such as leases, condo board or co-op rules, HOA rules, or rules established by tenant organizations. Please read your lease agreement and check with your landlord if applicable.
We are committed to working with local officials to clarify how local rules impact the community. We will continue to advocate for changes that will enable people to rent out their homes.
