Mashpee, Mass., Town Code § 106-8 (2026) § F
Fee for Registration
Operative Text
The fee to procure a Rental Certificate shall be listed in the fee schedule as determined by
the Select Board. The rental certificate fee shall be waived for licensed facilities.Under Mashpee, Mass., Town Code § 106-8(F), the cost of obtaining a Rental Certificate is not fixed in the code itself but is instead set by the Select Board and published in the town's official fee schedule. Separately, the provision carves out an exemption: facilities that already hold a relevant license are not required to pay the Rental Certificate fee. The fee amount can therefore change over time as the Select Board updates the schedule.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking a Rental Certificate under § 106-8(F) generally check the current Mashpee fee schedule—published by the Select Board—before submitting their application, since the fee is set administratively rather than by a fixed statutory amount. If the property is a licensed facility, compliant operators document that licensure status and claim the fee waiver at the time of application. Keeping records of the applicable fee schedule at the time of registration helps demonstrate compliance if questions arise later.
