West Hampton Dunes, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 440 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 440-16.1
Rental permit number
Operative Text
Each rental permit issued shall receive a separate and unique rental permit registration number which shall be issued at the same time as the issuance of the rental permit. The rental permit number shall be unique for each property and shall be displayed on all social media and other advertising for the rental unit.
Under West Hampton Dunes Code of Ordinances ch. 440 § 440-16.1, every rental permit is assigned a distinct registration number at the time the permit is issued. That number is tied to the specific property and must appear on all advertising for the rental unit, including social media posts and other promotional materials. The rule creates a traceable link between a listed rental property and its official permit record.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to ch. 440 § 440-16.1 generally ensure that the unique rental permit registration number assigned to each property is obtained at the time of permit issuance and then included visibly in every advertisement for that unit — whether posted on social media platforms, vacation-rental websites, or any other promotional channel. Maintaining a consistent record of which permit number corresponds to which property helps demonstrate compliance if questions arise. Compliant operators typically update all active listings promptly whenever a new permit number is issued.

Section 440-16.1 of the West Hampton Dunes Code of Ordinances gives renters a straightforward way to verify a rental's legitimacy: any lawfully advertised unit should display a unique permit registration number in its listing. If an advertisement lacks this number, that may indicate the property is operating without a valid permit. Tenants who encounter unlicensed or improperly advertised rentals can consider contacting the West Hampton Dunes municipal office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
