Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 186-11
Term of rental unit registration
Operative Text
A rental unit registration, other than for short-term rental, issued pursuant to this article shall expire no later than three years after the date of its issuance, unless sooner revoked. A short-term rental unit certificate issued pursuant to this article shall expire one year after its date of issuance. Within 60 days prior to the expiration of a rental unit registration certificate, the owner shall make written application for a rental unit registration certificate in accordance with this article. In no event shall a rental unit registration certificate issued pursuant to this article remain in effect beyond the expiration date unless extended by the Village Engineer for good and sufficient cause presented by the owner.
Under Croton-on-Hudson Code ch. 186 § 186-11, rental unit registrations have defined expiration dates: standard registrations last up to three years from issuance, while short-term rental certificates expire after one year. Registrations do not automatically renew — owners must submit a written renewal application within the 60-day window before expiration. A certificate cannot remain valid past its expiration date unless the Village Engineer grants an extension based on good and sufficient cause shown by the owner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to ch. 186 § 186-11 generally maintain a calendar tracking each registration's expiration date and submit a written renewal application within the 60-day period preceding that date. Compliant operators distinguish between standard rental registrations, which run up to three years, and short-term rental certificates, which must be renewed annually. If an extension beyond the expiration date becomes necessary, operators typically present documented cause to the Village Engineer before the certificate lapses.

Under ch. 186 § 186-11, tenants in Croton-on-Hudson have an interest in knowing whether their unit's rental registration is current, since certificates expire on fixed schedules — three years for standard rentals and one year for short-term rentals. A lapsed or unrenewed registration may be relevant to a tenant's rights under the broader registration ordinance, and tenants can inquire with the Village about a unit's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing codes can help residents understand what an expired or missing registration may mean for their situation.
