Fees
Operative Text
All owners (as determined by the most recent tax roll) of properties subject to inspection under this article shall be responsible for the payment of an inspection fee for each required inspection. The amount of such inspection fee(s) shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees. All such fees shall be invoiced and collected in the manner provided in § 91-10E of this Code.
Under Morrisville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 143 § 143-3, property owners listed on the most recent tax roll are financially responsible for paying an inspection fee each time a required inspection is conducted on their property. The specific dollar amount of the fee is not fixed in the ordinance itself; instead, the Board of Trustees sets it periodically by resolution. Billing and collection of these fees follow the procedures established in § 91-10E of the Morrisville Code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 143-3, operators of rental or other inspectable properties in Morrisville should be aware that the inspection fee obligation falls on whoever appears as owner on the most recent tax roll, regardless of any private arrangement with a tenant or co-owner. Compliant property managers typically monitor Board of Trustees resolutions to stay current on the applicable fee amount, and they ensure invoices issued under § 91-10E are paid in a timely manner. Keeping ownership records accurate on the tax roll is also a practical step, since that record determines who receives the fee obligation.

Section 143-3 places the inspection fee obligation squarely on the property owner, not the tenant, so tenants generally are not directly billed for required inspections under this provision. If a landlord attempts to pass this fee on to a tenant, that tenant may want to review the lease terms and consult a tenant-rights organization to understand whether such a charge is permissible. Tenants who believe a required inspection has not been conducted may also inquire with the Village of Morrisville about the inspection schedule and fee collection process under § 143-3.
