Fees (Barkhamsted Certificates of Apartment Occupancy)
Operative Text
The Board of Selectmen may set a reasonable schedule of fees, which fees are to be paid prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy required by this chapter.
Section 98-6 of Barkhamsted's Code of Ordinances authorizes the Board of Selectmen to establish a fee schedule tied to the rental housing certificate of occupancy process. Any fees set under this provision must be deemed reasonable and are due before a certificate of occupancy is issued. The provision gives the Board discretion to set, and presumably update, those fees over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 98-6, property owners seeking a certificate of occupancy for a rental unit in Barkhamsted should expect to pay any fees established by the Board of Selectmen before that certificate is issued. Compliant operators typically confirm the current fee schedule with the relevant municipal office well in advance of the inspection or application process. Keeping records of fee payments helps demonstrate compliance with Chapter 98's requirements.

Section 98-6 establishes that landlords bear the responsibility of paying Board of Selectmen-set fees before obtaining the certificate of occupancy required under Chapter 98. Tenants may find it relevant to know whether a landlord has properly obtained that certificate, since the fee-and-certificate process is part of the town's rental oversight framework. Tenant-rights organizations or the Barkhamsted municipal office can be consulted for information about how to verify a unit's certificate status.
