Babylon Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 153 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 153-5
Permit fees; late charge for overdue permit renewals
Operative Text
A. Permit fees, inspection fees, and sign posting fees shall be pursuant to the fee schedule set by resolution of the Town Board and shall be amended from time to time, in the Town Board's discretion, as follows: (1) Class I: one- or two-family homes; homes providing up to two units. (2) Class II: homes containing four or fewer dwelling units. (3) Class III: multiresidential zoned properties. B. Based upon the recommendation of the Commissioner of Planning and Development, a late charge for permit fees required by § 153-5 of the Babylon Town Code equal to two times the amount of said fees shall be charged by the Commissioner for any and all permit renewals required by Town Code Chapter 153 which are overdue and filed after the permit is expired.
Section 153-5 of the Babylon Town Code establishes a fee structure for rental permits, inspections, and sign postings, organized into three property classes based on unit count, with the Town Board setting and periodically adjusting the specific amounts. Properties are grouped as Class I (one- or two-family homes), Class II (up to four units), and Class III (multiresidential zoned properties). Additionally, any permit renewal filed after the permit has already expired is subject to a late charge equal to double the standard permit fee, assessed by the Commissioner of Planning and Development.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 153-5 of the Babylon Town Code, compliant property operators generally track their permit expiration dates carefully and submit renewal applications before those dates pass, since a late renewal triggers a penalty equal to twice the normal permit fee. The applicable fee tier depends on the property's classification—Class I, II, or III—as determined by unit count and zoning. Operators typically consult the current Town Board fee schedule to confirm the exact amounts owed for permits, inspections, and sign postings, as those figures are subject to periodic revision by resolution.

Section 153-5 of the Babylon Town Code requires landlords to maintain valid rental permits, and a lapsed permit may be relevant context if questions arise about the legal operation of a rental property. Tenants who suspect a landlord is operating without a current permit can inquire with the Babylon Town Department of Planning and Development to check permit status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Babylon Town regulations can help residents understand what permit requirements mean for their housing situation and what avenues may be available to raise concerns.
