Hamlin, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 454 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 454-8
Investigation fee
Operative Text
An application for a house-trailer park shall be accompanied by an investigation fee as set from time to time by resolution of the Town Board. An application for a tourist camp shall be accompanied by an investigation fee as set from time to time by resolution of the Town Board. The amount to be paid shall cover the required investigation and, if a license is subsequently issued, said sum shall be applied on account of a license fee, but in the event a license is not issued, such investigation fee shall be retained by the Town.
Section 454-8 of Hamlin, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 454 establishes that anyone applying for a house-trailer park or tourist camp must submit an investigation fee alongside their application. The fee amount is not fixed in the ordinance itself but is set periodically by the Town Board through resolution. If a license is ultimately granted, the investigation fee is credited toward the license fee; if the license is denied, the Town keeps the investigation fee.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking to open or license a house-trailer park or tourist camp in Hamlin should confirm the current investigation fee amount directly with the Town, since under § 454-8 the Town Board sets this figure by resolution and it may change over time. A compliant applicant submits the correct fee with the application and retains documentation of payment, which can later be applied toward the license fee if the license is approved. Keeping records of the fee payment and any Town Board resolutions setting the fee amount supports a clear paper trail throughout the licensing process.

Section 454-8 primarily governs the licensing process for house-trailer parks and tourist camps rather than tenant-facing rights, but residents of such facilities may find it relevant to understand how these properties are licensed in Hamlin. Knowing that a park operator was required to go through a formal application and investigation process — including payment of a Town-set fee — can inform questions about whether a facility is properly licensed. Tenants with concerns about a park's licensing status may contact the Town of Hamlin directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with local ordinance ch. 454.
