Southport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 352 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 352-8
Restriction on assignment of license
Operative Text
Any license issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter shall be assignable only with the consent of the Town Board.
Under Southport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 352 § 352-8, a rental license issued under Chapter 352 cannot be freely transferred from one party to another. Any such assignment requires the explicit approval of the Town Board before it can take effect. This rule ensures that the Town retains oversight over who holds a valid rental license at any given time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 352-8, operators who wish to transfer or assign a rental license to another party — such as during a property sale or change in management — must first obtain consent from the Southport Town Board. Compliant operators typically initiate this approval process well in advance of any planned transfer to avoid operating under an invalid or unapproved license. Proceeding with an assignment without Town Board approval would place the license holder outside the requirements of Chapter 352.

Section 352-8 of Southport's Code of Ordinances means that a rental property's license should not change hands without Town Board approval, which can be relevant if a property is sold or management changes. Tenants who believe a rental is being operated under an improperly assigned or unapproved license may consider contacting the Southport Town Board or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options exist. Raising the status of a property's license as a concern with the appropriate local authority is one general path available when questions arise about compliance with Chapter 352.
