When an applicant for a license has not engaged in the business or occupation until after the expiration of more than six months of the current license year, the license fee for the remaining period of the current license year shall be 1/2 the yearly fee, and said fee shall be paid for the remaining six months or fraction thereof during which the business has been, or will be, conducted. The foregoing provision for proration of fee shall apply to the fees prescribed in § 78-7C .
Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 § 78-8 establishes a mid-year discount for certain business licenses. When a business does not begin operating until after the first six months of the license year have passed, the operator pays only half the standard annual fee for the remainder of that year. This prorated fee structure applies specifically to the fee schedule set out in § 78-7C.

Under Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 § 78-8, property owners or managers who begin a licensed rental or business operation in the second half of the license year generally pay the half-year rate rather than the full annual fee. Compliant operators typically confirm with the Village the exact start date of their license year and calculate whether their commencement date falls after the six-month midpoint. Keeping documentation of the business start date helps support the prorated fee calculation at the time of application.
