A nonrefundable fee shall be paid upon filing the "registration for rental dwellings" in accordance with the Village fee schedule set from time to time by resolution of the Village of Brewster Board of Trustees. B.

Section 186-6 of Brewster, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 establishes that landlords must pay a nonrefundable fee when submitting a rental dwelling registration, with the fee amount set periodically by the Village Board of Trustees. The provision also creates an exemption from this fee for qualifying not-for-profit housing development corporations incorporated under New York State law that serve senior citizens or other designated special populations under federal or state income guidelines. The fee structure is not fixed in the ordinance itself but is instead determined by separate Board resolution, meaning the amount may change over time.
