Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to ch. 205 § 205-20 generally ensure that the correct application fee—as listed in the current annual fee schedule approved by the Board of Trustees—is included with every registration, renewal, or transfer form submitted to the Building Department. Compliant operators confirm the applicable fee amount before submitting paperwork, since the amount can change from year to year. Keeping a copy of the submitted form and payment record helps document timely compliance.

Section 205-20 of the Ossining Code establishes that landlords must pay a fee when registering, renewing, or transferring a rental property certificate, which is part of the broader rental registry system designed to track rental housing in the municipality. Tenants who believe a landlord has not properly registered a rental unit may raise that concern with the Ossining Building Department or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with local ordinances. Understanding whether a property is properly registered can be relevant context when navigating other housing issues under ch. 205.
