Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Dobbs Ferry, NY

Airbnb listings are allowed in Dobbs Ferry, NY, but with restrictions. Lodging uses are regulated by Village zoning: 'bed-and-breakfast' is limited to owner-occupied residences with the owner living on-premises (or adjacent), maximum of six guest rooms, and a maximum length of stay of 14 consecutive nights; bed-and-breakfast guest rooms may not include cooking facilities, meal service limited to breakfast, and on-site signage is restricted. 'Household living' is defined as tenancy monthly or longer, not on a short-term basis. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
