The Niagara Falls, NY Landlord Rental Registration Ordinance went into effect May 1, 2010. Its purpose is to establish a procedure and standards for the identification and registration of rental properties, to ensure that the City has a meaningful, efficient and effective means of communicating with those persons and companies who own rental properties.

All non-owner occupied rental property owners within the City of NiagaraFalls are required to register their rental properties whether the building is occupied or vacant.

A registration form must be completed for each parcel owned. The registration fees are $25. for one or two rental units and $40. for three or more units.

Failure to register any rental property shall be in violation and any person or entity convicted of such violation shall be punished as follows:

Upon the first conviction, a fine of not less than $250.00, but not exceeding $500.00 and;
Upon a second such conviction within a twelve month period, a fine of not less than $500.00 but not exceeding $2,500.
