Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 82-5 of Brookhaven's Code of Ordinances, compliant rental property owners budget for and submit the nonrefundable registration application fee—and any renewal fee—at the time of filing, in the amount currently set by Town Board resolution. Operators of multi-unit apartment complexes also account for the biennial fee, which is calculated based on the number of rental units in the complex. Not-for-profit housing development corporations organized under New York State law that serve qualifying populations should be prepared to demonstrate their eligibility for the fee waiver at the time of application.
