Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 139-19
Permit fees
Operative Text
The fees for each such permit shall be payable to the Village Clerk upon application for such permit and shall be established by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
Under Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 § 139-19, rental permit fees are not set by a fixed statutory amount but are instead determined by resolution of the Board of Trustees, meaning the fee schedule can change over time as the Board acts. Payment of the applicable fee is due to the Village Clerk at the time a permit application is submitted. This structure gives the governing body flexibility to adjust fees without amending the underlying ordinance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 139 § 139-19, operators seeking a rental permit in Highland Falls are generally expected to confirm the current fee amount with the Village Clerk before submitting an application, since the Board of Trustees sets fees by resolution and the amount may have changed since any prior permit cycle. Payment is due at the time of application, so having the correct amount ready helps avoid processing delays. Checking directly with the Village Clerk's office is the standard way to obtain the most up-to-date fee schedule.

Section 139-19 of the Highland Falls Code establishes that rental permits require a fee set by the Board of Trustees, which means the existence of a valid, fee-paid permit is part of the overall permit framework that governs rental housing in the village. Tenants who have questions about whether a landlord holds a current permit may inquire with the Village Clerk's office, which administers the permit process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing codes can help explain how the permit requirement under ch. 139 may be relevant to a rental situation.
