Monroe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 40 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 40-27
Renewal of permit
Operative Text
A. A rental permit may be renewed by application to the Building Inspector as in the case of an original permit application, along with submission of the required fee set forth in the Town Fee Schedule and submission of any documents required by the Town Building Inspector. B. All applications for a renewal of a permit shall be filed before the expiration of the original permit and are subject to the late charges set forth in the Town Fee Schedule. A permit may only be renewed by the same owner for the same property upon the payment of the permit renewal fee set forth in the Town Fee Schedule. In the event of a change of ownership where the new owner seeks a rental permit, the initial application fee and initial approved permit fees set forth in the Town Fee Schedule shall apply to the new owner. C. All applications for renewal of a permit shall require a certification from an independent professional engineer or registered architect, other than the property owner, licensed in the State of New York and containing their seal, or the certification of the Town Building Inspector attesting that the property at issue is in compliance with the Monroe Town Code, and meets the requirements of all applicable county, state and federal laws, codes, rules and regulations.
Monroe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 40 § 40-27 establishes the process for renewing a rental permit in the Town of Monroe. Renewals must be filed before the current permit expires, and late applications are subject to additional charges per the Town Fee Schedule. Every renewal application must include a certification—from either a licensed New York State professional engineer or registered architect (who is not the property owner) bearing their official seal, or from the Town Building Inspector—confirming that the property complies with the Monroe Town Code and all applicable county, state, and federal requirements. When a property changes hands, the new owner must go through the initial application process rather than a simple renewal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Monroe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 40 § 40-27, compliant rental property operators in Monroe generally track their permit expiration dates and submit renewal applications before those dates to avoid late charges listed in the Town Fee Schedule. They arrange for a licensed New York State professional engineer or registered architect—someone other than themselves—to inspect the property and provide a sealed certification of code compliance, or they coordinate with the Town Building Inspector for that certification. Operators who acquire a property through a change of ownership are aware that the initial application fee structure applies to them rather than the renewal fee schedule.

Monroe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 40 § 40-27 requires that rental properties in Monroe hold a valid, periodically renewed permit, and that each renewal be backed by an independent professional certification that the property meets applicable codes and regulations. This means tenants have a basis to inquire whether their landlord holds a current, valid rental permit and whether the required compliance certification has been obtained. Tenants who have concerns about permit compliance may contact the Monroe Town Building Inspector's office, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available to them.
