Montour Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 114 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 114-5
Fees
Operative Text
A. There shall be no filing fee for an owner filing a registration form within 90 days after the effective date of this article. An owner who owned a building at the effective date of this article but failed to file a registration form within said ninety-day period shall pay at the time of filing a registration form a fee of $125 for each building being registered. B. If the owner was not the owner of a building at any point during said ninety-day period, there shall be no filing fee for said owner, provided that the owner files a registration form within 60 days of acquiring legal or equitable title to the building as required by § 114-4 . If such an owner files a registration form after the expiration of said sixty-day period, the owner shall pay at the time of filing a registration fee of $125 for each building being registered. C. There shall be no filing fee for an owner filing a notice of change to a registration form pursuant to § 114-4A(8). D. An agent designated as such under this article shall be required to register with the Code Enforcement Officer as an agent and will submit at that time a filing fee of $25 for each building of the owner for whom he is acting as agent. The agent shall be required to renew his registration annually and pay a registration fee of $25 upon each renewal. The Village reserves the right to and may decline to accept the registration of an agent who has failed to satisfy his duties pursuant to this article in the preceding year. It shall be the duty of the Code Enforcement Officer to give notice to an agent whose registration has been denied of the reason(s) for denial.
Section 114-5 of the Montour Falls Code of Ordinances establishes a fee structure for building registration. Owners who register on time generally pay no filing fee, while those who miss the applicable deadline—either the initial 90-day window or the 60-day window for new owners—owe $125 per building at the time of late filing. Designated agents must pay a $25 fee per building when they first register and again upon each annual renewal, and the Village may deny agent registration if the agent failed to meet their duties in the prior year.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 114-5, property owners in Montour Falls can avoid registration fees entirely by filing within the deadlines set out in the ordinance—90 days from the article's effective date for existing owners, or 60 days from acquiring title for new owners. Owners who miss those windows generally pay $125 per building at the time of filing. Operators who use a designated agent should ensure that agent registers with the Code Enforcement Officer and pays the $25-per-building fee, and that the agent renews annually to maintain good standing.

Section 114-5 is part of Montour Falls's building registration framework, which is designed to ensure that ownership and agent information is on file with the Village. Tenants can check whether their building's owner or agent is properly registered with the Code Enforcement Officer, since an owner's failure to register on time triggers late fees under this provision. Tenants who have concerns about whether their building is properly registered may contact the Village's Code Enforcement Officer or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
