Rochester
Municipality · Licensing · Friendly
Rochester currently has no short-term rental regulations, licenses, or permits; New York leaves vacation-rental regulation to municipalities.

Re-check on a short cadence: the Zoning Alignment Project cleared the Planning Commission in July 2026 and would regulate STRs if City Council enacts it.
