Halfmoon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 80 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 80-8
Amendments
Operative Text
The Town Board of the Town of Halfmoon may, on its own initiative or on petition, amend, supplement, or repeal the provisions of this chapter in conformity with applicable law after public notice and hearing.
Section 80-8 of Halfmoon's Code of Ordinances establishes the process by which the Town Board can change the local rent regulation chapter. The Board may act on its own initiative or in response to a petition from interested parties, but any change—whether an amendment, supplement, or repeal—must follow public notice and a hearing as required by applicable law. This ensures that modifications to the chapter occur through a transparent, participatory process rather than unilaterally or without community input.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 80 § 80-8, the Town Board retains authority to alter the rules that govern rental housing in Halfmoon, which means the regulatory landscape can shift over time. Operators who stay informed about posted public notices and scheduled Town Board hearings are generally better positioned to understand upcoming changes that could affect their compliance obligations. Participating in the public hearing process is one way property owners and managers can provide input before any amendment, supplement, or repeal takes effect.

Section 80-8 gives Halfmoon residents—including tenants—a formal avenue to influence local rent regulations by petitioning the Town Board to amend, supplement, or repeal provisions of ch. 80. Because any change requires public notice and a hearing, tenants have an opportunity to attend and comment before new rules take effect. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Halfmoon's local process can help residents understand how to engage with the petition and public hearing procedures established by this provision.
