Short-Term Rental Regulations
SHORT-TERM RENTALS ARE PROHIBITED IN LONG BEACH, NY. Any dwelling unit rented for fewer than 28 days is classified as a ‘transient rental property’ and is prohibited throughout the City of Long Beach. The city does not issue STR permits, licenses, or registrations; any application would be denied. This ban applies to all zoning districts citywide.
The city has actively enforced this prohibition for years through city court, typically acting on neighbor complaints about noise, parking, and quality-of-life issues. In August 2024, the City Council debated a proposed ordinance to formally codify the ban as a ‘transient rental property’ prohibition with escalating penalties:
– First offense: fines up to $2,500 and/or up to 15 days of imprisonment.
– Second offense: fines up to $5,000 and/or up to 15 days.
– Fourth or subsequent offense: fines up to $30,000 and potential imprisonment.
Operators of legal lodging (hotels) in Nassau County owe a 3% county hotel/motel occupancy tax plus state and county sales taxes. This tax obligation is moot for would-be STR operators, as sub-28-day rentals are prohibited.
Only longer-term leases of 28 or more days avoid the transient-rental classification. Investors must treat Long Beach city limits as a prohibited market for sub-28-day STR operation. Buyers interested in the broader barrier island market should separately evaluate properties in Nassau County areas outside city limits, where different rules may apply.
Market Comparison
The broader Long Island barrier beach market represented in this data operates at premium ADR levels far above national medians. The all-market ADR of $296 in April 2026 is well above the US median of approximately $220, and peak-summer ADRs of $786-$859 reflect Long Island beachfront premium positioning. The 2025 annual average ADR of $488 is more than double the US median.
This market context is important for investors considering properties anywhere in the Nassau County barrier island corridor, including areas outside Long Beach city limits where STRs may be legal.
Revenue growth market score of 81.99 reflects the strong long-term rate appreciation trend. The total market score of 42.19 and investability of 53.75 reflect the severe regulatory constraint within the city itself.
Among active property managers in the broader dataset, StayMarquis leads with 354 listings and 2,052 reviews at a 4.79 rating. Evolve operates 77 listings (4.47 rating). PMI Gold Coast Properties manages 51 listings (4.62 rating), Luxury Beach Getaway 47 listings with 1,251 reviews at 4.78, and Vacasa 45 listings (4.30 rating).
