Parking and Traffic

The Village Board of Trustees has been reviewing the Village's Vehicle and Traffic Law and relevant sections of the Tarrytown Village Code. This ongoing effort includes evaluating traffic and parking throughout several areas of the village, including regulations governing commercial vehicle parking and permits.

Residents and business owners are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these regulations to help maintain safe and accessible streets throughout the community. As part of this process, please keep in mind that the current permits have been extended through the end of this month, June 30th. Please apply for your permits if you haven’t already through our new online portal here.

Future Happenings from your Tarrytown Harbormaster, Kevin Lustik

With the 250th year of Independence soon to celebrated, there are important things to be considered. If you are a boater and heading for NY Harbor during any of the displays, you must not approach any Military ship within 100 yds when it is stationary or 500 yds when it is underway. It is a Federal violation and will be met with force After a warning has been issued by Marine radio Channel 16 by the Coast Guard or any other enforcement authority having jurisdiction, namely Homeland Security, NYPD and and USCG unit. All agencies will be monitoring from waterborne craft in addition to extensive helicopter air units. When a security zone is announced on channel 16 or 22, it must be adhered to. The Hudson River corridor will be part of an OP Sail and various air shows for a few soon to be announced days.

Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow will be hosting the usual fireworks a few minutes after 9:00pm on Saturday, July 4th. There will also be a reenactment showing of a British vessel being captured in the Tarrytown Harbor by local Volunteers at 7:00pm. 

Please enjoy this Boating Season and Celebrate the 250th!

Notice of Scam: Applicants Be Aware

Applicants to our Land Use Boards and recipients of Building Permits have been targeted by scammers recently. Please be cautious of any requests for payment from the Village of Tarrytown. Please confirm that the email address of a Village communication ends in "@tarrytownny.gov." If it does not, please call our Department to confirm that we sent you a communication.

Scammers have been sending notices that are very similar to letters sent by our departments with minor differences. For instance, instead of the "Planning Board" or "Planning Department" the email is from the "Planning Commission" which is not the appropriate Department title. The email address from which the email is sent is "Planning.VillageOfTarrytownNY@usa.com." This is not a Village email address.

Please be very cautious of any emails requesting payment, and if you have doubts please confirm by calling the Village department in question.

Support Eagle Scout Project Restoring

Captor's Monument 

Evan Bloom, Life Scout with Troop 22 in Sleepy Hollow is working towards his Eagle Scout rank and for his project, he chose to restore the Captor's Monument in Tarrytown which is a historic landmark. His project involves cleaning and restoring the stone monument and the surrounding area by planting grass and flowers around the monument and installing signage that describes the history. Please consider donating to his project here.

The Village has been participating in a demand response program through Sustainable Westchester over the last few years, and this past year was recognized as a top revenue earner. Demand Response involves reducing energy usage during a few peak times during the year, usually on the hottest of summer days, when energy use is atits peak and it is challenging for the utilities to provide enough to meet the demand. On peak days they have to turn to the dirtiest most expensive form of power generation to meet the demand, so it is in their interest to incentivize customers to reduce usage. Tarrytown earned $5,839 through its participation. Regular households can also participate. Interested in signing up? Visit the Grid Rewards program through Sustainable Westchester.
