Southold, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 207 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 207-3
Fees
Operative Text
Rental permit fees shall be set by the Town Board by resolution.
Under Southold, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 207 § 207-3, the cost of obtaining a rental permit in the Town of Southold is not fixed within the ordinance itself — instead, the Town Board has the authority to establish the fee amount through a formal resolution. This means the applicable fee can be updated or changed by the Town Board without amending the underlying code. The current fee amount is determined by whatever resolution the Town Board has most recently adopted.

Under ch. 207 § 207-3, operators of rental properties in Southold are generally expected to pay the rental permit fee as established by the Town Board's current resolution before renting out a unit. Because the fee is set by resolution rather than written into the code, compliant operators typically verify the current fee amount directly with the Town before submitting a permit application. Keeping records of fee payments and the resolution in effect at the time of payment is a common practice among property managers in jurisdictions with this type of structure.

Section 207-3 of Southold's rental regulations establishes that rental permit fees are set by Town Board resolution, which means landlords are required to obtain a permit at the Board-established cost as a condition of legally renting a unit. Tenants who have questions about whether their rental unit holds a valid permit may contact the Town of Southold directly to inquire about permit status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Suffolk County housing regulations can also help explain what permit requirements mean for renters in practice.
