Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 98-53
Transfer of license
Operative Text
All licenses are transferable upon written notification to the Town Board.
Under Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-53, a rental license is not locked to a single owner — it may be transferred to another party. The only procedural requirement the rule imposes is that the Town Board receives written notification of the transfer. No approval or waiting period is specified; notification alone satisfies the requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-53 means that when a licensed rental property changes hands, the outgoing or incoming owner generally provides written notice of the transfer to the Town Board. Compliant operators typically document this notification and retain a copy for their records. Ensuring the written notice is submitted promptly at the time of transfer helps maintain uninterrupted licensure for the property.

Spencer, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-53 establishes that a rental license can follow a property through a change of ownership, provided the Town Board is notified in writing. As a tenant, knowing this rule exists means you can inquire with the Town Board about whether a valid, properly transferred license is on file for your unit. If a license transfer was not properly documented, that may be relevant information to raise with local housing authorities or a tenant-rights organization.
