title

Article X Rental of Residential Housing
Chapter 781: Residential Housing Rental Permit Program

Section 781.00 Purpose and Intent.

The City recognizes that the most efficient system is the creation of a program requiring the registration of residential rental units within the City as defined in this Chapter, so that an inventory of rental properties and a verification of compliance can be made by City officials. The City intends to use a portion of the funds generated by the registration fee for property inspection purposes.
