Registration fee
Operative Text
A. A registration fee shall be established by the Board of Trustees of the Village and shall be set forth in the Village schedule of fees, which schedule may be amended from time to time by resolution of the Board. B. The registration fee for the required filing of the landlord registry form shall be established by the Board of Trustees of the Village and shall be set forth in the Village Schedule of Fees, which schedule may be amended from time to time by resolution of the Board. C. The fees required under this chapter, if not paid as required, shall be a lien against the real property for which registration is required by this chapter. The amount of such fee, if not paid as required, may be assessed and levied against such real property and collected in the same manner as real property taxes.
Under Walden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 221 § 221-5, the Village Board of Trustees sets the registration fee for the landlord registry through the Village's official schedule of fees, which can be updated by Board resolution at any time. Landlords subject to the registration requirement must pay this fee as directed. If the fee goes unpaid, the provision allows it to become a lien on the property and to be collected in the same way as real property taxes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 221-5, compliant operators in Walden generally confirm the current registration fee by consulting the Village's schedule of fees before submitting the required landlord registry form, since the Board of Trustees may adjust the amount by resolution. Timely payment is important because an unpaid fee can attach as a lien to the registered property and be collected through the same process used for real property taxes. Keeping records of fee payments helps demonstrate compliance if questions arise.

Section 221-5 of Walden's Code establishes that landlords must pay a Board-set registration fee as part of the landlord registry process, and that unpaid fees can become a lien on the property. Tenants who want to know whether their landlord has met this registration obligation can inquire with the Village of Walden directly, as the registry is a public compliance mechanism. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Village of Walden ordinances can help explain what the registration requirement means for renters and what options exist if a landlord appears to be out of compliance.
