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 accordance with the Town of North Hempstead Fee Schedule. B. For a rental occupancy permit application submitted by a person 62 years of age or over, in connection with a single rental dwelling unit contained in the primary residence of the applicant, the permit application fee shall be the amount indicated in the Town of North Hempstead Fee Schedule. This provision shall not apply to applications for more than one rental dwelling unit in the same structure, nor shall it apply to applications for rental dwelling units located in structures other than the primary residence of the applicant. C. The fee for a multiple-residence inspection under § 2-28C(10) shall be waived for any applicant who pays the fee for a rental occupancy permit under this article, because the inspection provided under this article will also serve as a multiple-residence inspection. D. The fees 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 regulation.
North Hempstead Code ch. 2 § 2-105 establishes the fee structure for rental occupancy permit applications in the Town of North Hempstead. Applicants generally pay a nonrefundable fee set by the Town Fee Schedule, though reduced fees apply for applicants aged 62 or older who are renting a single unit within their own primary residence. Certain fees are waived entirely for qualifying not-for-profit housing development corporations serving seniors or other designated special populations under income guidelines, and the multiple-residence inspection fee is waived for anyone who has already paid the rental occupancy permit fee under this article.

Under North Hempstead Code ch. 2 § 2-105, compliant property owners submit the nonrefundable permit application fee as set by the Town Fee Schedule when filing for a rental occupancy permit. Owners who are 62 or older and renting a single unit within their primary residence should be aware that a different fee tier may apply, though this reduced rate does not extend to multiple units or properties outside the owner's primary residence. Not-for-profit housing development corporations incorporated under New York State law that serve seniors or other income-qualified special populations should document their qualifying status to seek a full fee waiver at the time of application.
