Rental Property Registration

Forms

Registration Process

No property may be rented until the Rental Property Registration is approved and the unit has received a Tenancy Certificate of Occupancy.

Prior to leasing premises within the Village to a tenant, the landlord must complete and submit the following:

  1. a Rental Property Registration Form + a $50 per-property application fee (payable to “Village of Philmont”)
  2. a Tenancy Certificate of Occupancy Form + a $20 per-unit application fee (payable to “Village of Philmont”)

Printed applications and registration fees for the Rental Property Registration and Tenancy Certificate of Occupancy can be dropped off at the Village Office at 24 Main Street in Philmont or mailed to: Building Department, Village of Philmont, PO Box 822, Philmont, NY 12565.

Fees

Make checks payable to “Village of Philmont“.

  • Rental Property Registration Fee | $50 per property
  • Tenancy Certificate of Occupancy | $20 per unit

Renewals

Rental Property Registrations and Tenancy Certificates of Occupancy are valid for one year from their date of issuance and must be renewed yearly by filling out and submitted both forms no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing rental registration and tenancy certificate of occupancy. The Tenancy Certificate of Occupancy certifies that the residential unit to be occupied and the services to the unit are in compliance with New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and Chapter 160, Zoning, of the Village of Philmont Local Laws (p. 145).
