Troy, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 177 § 177-8
Fees
Operative Text
A. There shall be a filing fee of $150 per rental property, which shall be paid with the filing of the landlord registration statement, as outlined in § 177-7 herein. The Registry Authority is hereby authorized to waive the above filing fee so long as the landlord registration statement is received by the Registry Authority within 90 days of the effective date of this chapter, or within 90 days of landlord receipt of a certificate of occupancy for newly constructed residential units. B. There shall be a late fee assessed in the amount of $75 for each additional 60 days that a rental property remains unregistered in violation of any registration period defined hereinabove. C. All unpaid fees imposed on or after the effective date of this chapter shall be added to the annual City tax levy for each affected property.
Section 177-8 of Troy's rental registry ordinance establishes a $150 filing fee that must accompany each landlord registration statement submitted under § 177-7. A $75 late fee is added for every 60-day period a rental property remains unregistered beyond the required deadline. Any fees that go unpaid are ultimately folded into the annual City tax levy for the affected property, creating a tax-based collection mechanism.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 177-8, compliant rental property operators in Troy submit the $150 registration fee alongside their landlord registration statement, taking care to meet the filing deadline to avoid the $75 late fee that accrues in 60-day increments. Operators of newly constructed residential units generally have a 90-day window from receipt of a certificate of occupancy to file and potentially qualify for a fee waiver. Keeping registration current is important because unpaid fees under this section are added directly to the property's annual City tax levy, which can complicate tax records and property transactions.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 177-8 is part of Troy's rental registry framework, which is designed to ensure landlords formally register their rental properties with the Registry Authority. Tenants can check whether their rental property is properly registered, since an unregistered property may indicate a landlord is out of compliance with the broader requirements of Chapter 177. Tenant-rights organizations or the Registry Authority itself can be useful resources for understanding how the registration status of a property may be relevant to a tenant's situation.
