Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 98-56
Modification of fees
Operative Text
The Town Board may, from time to time, by simple resolution of the Board, modify the above stated fees. In the event that such resolution is passed, the Town Board shall cause notice of such change or changes to be published in the newspaper designated by it at its organizational meeting and shall cause a schedule to be prepared and posted conspicuously in the Town Clerk's office.
Under Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-56, the Town Board holds the authority to change the fee schedule established elsewhere in Chapter 98 through a simple board resolution, without requiring a full local law amendment. When such a change is adopted, the Board must publish notice in its officially designated newspaper and post an updated fee schedule in a visible location at the Town Clerk's office. This process ensures that any revised fees are made publicly accessible before or as they take effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Spencer's rental or housing regulations should be aware that the fee amounts referenced in Chapter 98 are not permanently fixed — under § 98-56, the Town Board can adjust them by resolution at any time. Compliant operators generally monitor the Town Clerk's office postings and the Board's designated newspaper for announcements of fee changes. Staying current with posted schedules helps ensure that any fees submitted to the Town reflect the most recently adopted amounts.

Section 98-56 of Spencer's Code of Ordinances establishes a public notice requirement whenever the Town Board modifies fees under Chapter 98, meaning tenants and residents have a defined channel through which to learn about fee changes. Updated schedules must be conspicuously posted at the Town Clerk's office and published in the Board's designated newspaper, giving community members access to current information. Tenants who believe a fee being applied to them does not match the posted schedule may wish to review the Town Clerk's office postings or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on next steps.
