Dear Lewisboro Lakes friends and neighbors,

On March 23, 2026, there will be a public hearing on the proposed Lewisboro Code for Short Term Rentals (STR aka “AirBnB type rentals”).  

This will be part of the regularly scheduled Town Board meeting at the Town House at 7:30 PM.  

The proposed code was published in the agenda packet at the February 9 meeting of the Lewisboro Town Board. It is available (pages 17-24) at this link: https://www.lewisborony.gov/media/37646.

The Town Board discussion of the proposed STR code is available at this link: https://www.lewisborony.gov/print/pdf/node/44831 from time stamp 1:16:39 to 1:32:00.  

Although lake communities were mentioned in the Board discussion, there is no specific wording in the proposed code to address potential “quality of life” issues in lake communities where properties are small and close together.  

Septic stress, late night noise, parking availability, spot lights, pets, beach use, etc. might all negatively affect the enjoyment and health of our lakes as short term rentals become popular in warmer weather.  

While some Lewisboro lake associations have passed rules regulating STRs, most associations have not yet done this. This may be something associations should consider, as well as suggesting more specific wording in the Town STR Code to accommodate lake communities.  

Please join the Lewisboro Lakes Coalition meeting on March 18, at 5:30 on Zoom to share concerns and ask questions about the STR proposal (contact us for zoom link).

Also please plan to attend the public hearing at the Town Board meeting on March 23, at 7:30, online or in person to voice your concerns and/or make suggestions to the final version of the STR code. 

Anyone in Lewisboro who is part of one of our seven lake communities is welcome at any of the Lewisboro Lakes Coalition meetings. Please share this Zoom link to our meeting with interested friends and neighbors.  

Looking forward to seeing you on March 18 and/or March 23.

Sue Enos,
