Section 188-22 of Horseheads, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 188 establishes the framework for rental permit fees and permit duration in the Village of Horseheads. Rental permits are valid for thirty-six-month periods and may be revoked or invalidated under conditions described elsewhere in the chapter. Fees for permits, inspections, and reinspections—including those for newly constructed, renovated, or converted rental properties—are set by the Village Board through a resolution-based fee schedule rather than fixed in the ordinance text itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 188-22, operators of rental properties in Horseheads must obtain a rental permit and pay the applicable fees as established by the Village Board's current fee schedule, which can be updated by resolution at any time. Permits run for thirty-six-month periods, so compliant operators track renewal timelines to ensure continuous coverage. Owners of newly constructed, renovated, or converted rental buildings should confirm the specific permit fee in the current schedule at the time of issuance, as that amount applies when the permit is first issued.

Section 188-22 establishes that rental units in Horseheads are required to hold a valid permit, issued only after all chapter requirements are met, which provides tenants with a baseline assurance that the property has been reviewed. If a tenant has reason to believe a landlord is operating without a current permit—or that a permit has been revoked—this provision may be relevant to raising a concern with the Village. Tenants can contact the Village of Horseheads directly or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available under ch. 188.
