Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 440-19, property owners or managers who receive a denial of a seasonal rental permit application are entitled to a written explanation of the reasons for that denial. A compliant operator generally reviews the stated grounds carefully and, if pursuing an appeal, files a written request with the Village Clerk in a timely manner. At the hearing before the Village Board of Trustees, the appealing party bears the burden of demonstrating that the administrator's determination was arbitrary, capricious, or exceeded his authority.
