For Property Managers

Under Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 9 § 27-132, operators of one-family and two-family non-owner-occupied rental properties are generally expected to include the $150 application and processing fee with each rental registry application they submit. Compliant property owners typically prepare a separate fee payment for each property being registered rather than submitting a single payment for multiple properties. Ensuring the fee accompanies the application form at the time of submission is a standard part of the registration process.
