E. The form shall be signed by the owner and his or her designee and witnessed by a notary public and shall contain the following declaration: "I certify that all information contained in this statement is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that the willful making of any false statement of material facts herein will subject me to the provisions of law relevant to the making and filing of false instruments and shall constitute a violation of this chapter." F. It shall be the responsibility of each owner to timely notify the Building Department whenever the information provided in this form has become outdated or for any reason is no longer accurate. It shall be the responsibility of each owner to recertify the aforementioned information annually.
Wolcott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-6 establishes what information must appear on the rental property registry form that owners submit to the municipality. The form captures property details, owner contact information, and — when ownership is held through a business entity or when the owner lives outside Wayne County — the names and contact details of responsible representatives. Owners must sign the form before a notary public, certify the accuracy of all information, and update or recertify the form annually whenever any detail changes or becomes outdated.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 83 § 83-6, compliant property owners complete the registry form with full property and ownership details, including a local Wayne County contact who is at least 21 years old and authorized to accept legal process when the owner's principal address is outside the county. The form must be notarized and include the prescribed certification statement attesting to the truthfulness of all information. Owners also maintain ongoing compliance by notifying the Building Department promptly when any filed information changes and by recertifying the form each year.

Wolcott ch. 83 § 83-6 creates a public record of who owns and manages rental properties in the municipality, including a locally accessible contact person for properties whose owners are based outside Wayne County. Tenants who have difficulty identifying a property owner or a responsible local contact may reference this registry, which the Building Department maintains. Those who believe a landlord has failed to file or maintain accurate registry information can raise that concern with the Wolcott Building Department or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
