The City Council passed a Rental Licensing and Inspections Ordinance on January 2, 2018.
The purpose of the ordinance is to “provide minimum standards to promote public safety, to safeguard life, limb, health, property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the use and occupancy, construction and maintenance of all Rental Dwellings within the City (City Code Section 124.01)”.
The ordinance requires all Rental Dwelling Units to be licensed and to be inspected by the Building Official.
