Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Garrison, NY

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Garrison, NY because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No final/active short-term rental (STR) ordinance or permit program was found on the Town of Philipstown (which includes the hamlet of Garrison) or Putnam County official sites as of 2026-03-01. The Town of Philipstown posted a Notice of Public Hearing for a proposed "Local Law 4-2025" to regulate STRs (draft), but no adopted/codified STR law or permitting instructions appear on the town’s official code pages; therefore STRs are currently unregulated locally pending any adoption. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
