Local services and rules

Moving to Poughkeepsie: who to call and what the city asks.

Poughkeepsie is the county seat of Dutchess County, New York, and the Town of Poughkeepsie surrounds it as a separate municipality. Water is drawn from the Hudson River and treated at a facility the City and Town of Poughkeepsie own and operate jointly. A Poughkeepsie Public Library District card is open to anyone who lives, owns property or attends school in the City or Town of Poughkeepsie. Adults 18 and older apply online, and the physical card is picked up at a check-out desk with photo ID and proof of address.

Residential parking permits at City Hall

Residential on-street and residential lot parking permits are issued by the Parking Department at City Hall. Applicants bring a driver's license, vehicle registration and proof of residency. Residential lot and on-street permit parking is for residents only.

Meter hours

Street meters are enforced Monday through Friday, 8 am to 6 pm. Municipal parking lot meters are enforced around the clock.

Toters, curbside times and carters

Garbage and recycling go in city-issued toters, either 95-gallon or 65-gallon. Garbage toters have black lids and recycling toters have blue lids. Cans go curbside no earlier than 5 p.m. on the night before the scheduled pickup.

Yard debris is collected curbside on Wednesdays from April until the second week in December or the start of snowfall, whichever comes earlier.

The Commissioner of Public Works keeps a list of qualified carters licensed by the Dutchess County Department of Solid Waste Management.

Water bills and exemption forms

Water and sewer bills are paid through the Finance Department, and the account number from the most recent bill is needed when paying.

Property tax exemption forms are available from the Assessor's Office.

Dutchess County bus service and voter registration

Dutchess County Public Transit runs the bus service, with route and schedule information and a bus tracker.

The Dutchess County Board of Elections registers voters and is at 112 Delafield St., Poughkeepsie.

Short-term rental permits and rent stabilization

A permit is required for anyone operating a Short-Term Vacation Rental or a Home Sharing Short-Term Rental, and the host must live in the dwelling unit being rented.
