Mineola, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 414 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 414-7
Fees
Operative Text
A. Permit application fee. A nonrefundable permit application fee shall be paid upon filing an application for a rental occupancy permit in an amount as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees. B. The fee required by this section shall be waived for any applicant which demonstrates that it is a not-for-profit housing development corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, and that it is providing housing for senior citizens or other designated special populations subject to income guidelines established by either federal or state regulations.
Section 414-7 of Mineola's Code of Ordinances establishes a nonrefundable fee that must be paid when applying for a rental occupancy permit, with the specific dollar amount set periodically by the Board of Trustees rather than fixed in the ordinance itself. The provision also creates a fee waiver for qualifying not-for-profit housing development corporations incorporated under New York State law that serve senior citizens or other designated special populations under federally or state-defined income guidelines. The waiver is not automatic — the applicant must affirmatively demonstrate that it meets both the organizational and housing-purpose criteria.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 414-7, operators seeking a rental occupancy permit in Mineola must budget for a nonrefundable application fee whose current amount is determined by Board of Trustees resolution, so checking with the village for the most recent fee schedule before filing is a standard part of the permitting process. Compliant operators submit the fee at the time of application, as it is a condition of filing rather than a post-approval charge. Landlords who operate as New York State not-for-profit housing development corporations serving income-qualified senior citizens or other designated special populations should be prepared to document that status in order to pursue the waiver available under § 414-7(B).

Section 414-7 governs the fees landlords pay to obtain a rental occupancy permit in Mineola, which is relevant context for tenants because a landlord's failure to hold a valid permit can affect the legal status of a tenancy. Tenants who want to understand whether their building's permit is current may inquire with the village, and tenant-rights organizations can help explain what remedies, if any, are available when a landlord has not complied with the permitting requirements of ch. 414. While the fee waiver in § 414-7(B) applies to landlords rather than tenants directly, it reflects the village's policy of supporting affordable housing for seniors and other special populations.
