It is unlawful to operate a rental dwelling in the city without first having obtained a license from the City Manager. Each general housing unit and each apartment complex must register annually with the City Manager. No license is required under this subchapter when an owner occupies a living unit as a permanent residence. Failure to obtain a rental license may result in the issuance of administrative citations and fines and any other civil or criminal penalties available to the city.
