I own and live in a two family home, but do not rent the second unit. Will I be required to pay a fee for both units?

An owner-occupied two-unit property who has elected not to rent such residential unit on a permanent basis can apply for an exemption from the fee for the non-rented unit. The owner of the property may complete an exemption form with the City's Code Enforcement office or complete and download the "Solid Waste Collection Fee: Exemption Application Form (PDF)". 

Please return the form in-person to the Mayor's Office at Troy City Hall, or by mail to:

City of Troy
c/o Sanitation Disputes
433 River Street
Troy, NY 12180

Upon verification the fee will be exempt.
