Schedule of fees
Operative Text
The Board of Trustees shall adopt, and from time to time may amend, a schedule of fees payable by applicants for permits hereunder or for renewals thereof. Such schedule of fees may, in the discretion of the Board of Trustees, take into account if the dwelling unit is occupied by the record owner or by a member or members of the immediate family of the record owner. Such schedule of fees may, in the discretion of the Board of Trustees, take into account if the record owner is over the age of 65 at the time application is made hereunder.
Section 107-16 of Brightwaters, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 establishes that the village's Board of Trustees sets and may periodically update a fee schedule for rental permit applications and renewals. The fee structure is permitted—though not required—to vary based on whether the dwelling is owner-occupied or occupied by an immediate family member of the record owner. The Board also has discretion to offer different fee treatment for record owners who are 65 years of age or older at the time of application.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 107-16, property owners in Brightwaters who apply for rental permits or renewals are subject to whatever fee schedule the Board of Trustees has currently adopted. Compliant operators check the current schedule before submitting an application, since fees may have been amended since a prior filing. Owners who are 65 or older, or whose unit is occupied by themselves or an immediate family member, may wish to confirm with the village whether a reduced fee category applies to their application.

Section 107-16 governs the fee obligations placed on record owners—not tenants—when applying for rental permits under Brightwaters, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107. Tenants may find it useful to know that the permit system exists, as it signals that rental units in the village are subject to a local licensing framework. Tenants with questions about whether a landlord holds a valid permit can contact the village directly or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
