Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 25 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 25-4
Fees
Operative Text
A. A nonrefundable rental application fee, as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees, shall be paid upon filing an application or renewal application for a rental license. B. The fee required by this section shall be waived for any applicant which demonstrates that it is a not-for-profit housing development corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, and that it is providing housing for senior citizens or other designated special populations subject to income guidelines established by either federal or state regulation.
Section 25-4 of Bellport's Code of Ordinances establishes that landlords must pay a nonrefundable fee when applying for or renewing a rental license, with the fee amount set periodically by the Board of Trustees rather than fixed in the ordinance itself. The provision also creates a fee waiver for qualifying not-for-profit housing development corporations incorporated under New York State law that serve senior citizens or other designated special populations under federal or state income guidelines. This means the cost of obtaining or renewing a rental license can change over time as the Board of Trustees adjusts the fee by resolution.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 25-4, operators seeking or renewing a rental license in Bellport generally submit the nonrefundable application fee currently set by the Board of Trustees at the time of filing. Compliant operators stay informed of any fee changes adopted by resolution, since the amount is not fixed in the ordinance and may be updated periodically. Landlords affiliated with a New York State not-for-profit housing development corporation serving qualifying senior or special-population residents under applicable income guidelines should be prepared to demonstrate that status in order to claim the fee waiver described in § 25-4(B).

Section 25-4 is primarily directed at landlords who must obtain rental licenses, but tenants may find it relevant when evaluating whether their landlord is operating a properly licensed rental unit in Bellport. If a landlord has not paid the required application or renewal fee under § 25-4, that failure could reflect on the validity of the rental license itself, which may be relevant to tenant-rights inquiries. Tenants who have questions about their landlord's licensing status can contact the Village of Bellport directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
