North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 8-15
Exemption
Operative Text
Multiple residences which have obtained a permit under the Rental Dwelling Ordinance found in Chapter 2 of the Town Code are exempted from the fee requirements of this chapter.
Under North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 § 8-15, multiple-residence properties that have already secured a permit under the Rental Dwelling Ordinance (Chapter 2 of the Town Code) are not subject to the fee requirements imposed by Chapter 8. This exemption functions as a carve-out, meaning the fee obligations that would otherwise apply under Chapter 8 do not attach to properties covered by that existing permit. The rule effectively prevents double-charging landlords who are already operating under the Chapter 2 permit framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multiple-residence properties in North Hempstead should be aware that, under ch. 8 § 8-15, holding a valid permit issued pursuant to the Rental Dwelling Ordinance in Chapter 2 of the Town Code generally shields a property from the fee requirements of Chapter 8. Compliant operators typically maintain current Chapter 2 permits and retain documentation confirming that permit status in case questions arise about fee obligations. Reviewing permit records and confirming their standing with the relevant Town office is a common practice for property managers seeking to rely on this exemption.
