Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 74-40
Administration fees
Operative Text
The Huntington Community Development Agency shall receive the following fee for monitoring compliance with the provisions of this Article. (A) One (1%) percent on the initial sale of the contract price, one (1%) percent of the contract sales price per transfer in years one through five of ownership, two (2%) percent of the contract sales price per transfer in years six through ten (10) of ownership, and three (3%) of the contract sales price per transfer in years eleven (11) and beyond of each workforce housing unit to be paid by the seller at or prior to closing. (B) One month's rent per rental unit paid by the property owner upon approval of the lease agreement by the Director. In addition, a $50.00 fee will be paid by the property owner per rental unit at the time of recertification of the tenant.
Section 74-40 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 establishes the fees that the Huntington Community Development Agency collects to fund its oversight of the workforce housing program. For ownership units, a percentage-based fee on the sale price is due at or before closing, with the rate rising from 1% in the early years of ownership up to 3% after the eleventh year. For rental units, the property owner owes one month's rent when a lease is approved and an additional $50 per unit each time a tenant is recertified.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 74-40, operators of workforce housing units are responsible for calculating and remitting the correct administration fee at each triggering event — sale, lease approval, or tenant recertification. For owned units, compliant sellers track how many years have elapsed since initial acquisition so the proper tiered percentage (1%, 2%, or 3% of the contract sales price) is applied and paid at or before closing. For rental units, property owners budget for the one-month-rent fee at lease approval by the Director and the $50 per-unit recertification fee each time a tenant's eligibility is renewed.

Section 74-40 makes clear that the administration fees described — including the one-month-rent fee and the $50 recertification fee — are obligations placed on the property owner, not the tenant. Tenants in workforce housing units may want to be aware of this distinction, particularly if a landlord attempts to pass these costs along in any form. Tenants who have questions about how these fees are being applied can contact the Huntington Community Development Agency directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
