(A) All rental dwellings shall be registered on January 1 of each year. The registration period shall be January 1 through December 31 of each year. Any registration certificate which may be issued after January 1 of any given year shall be valid only through December 31 of that year.
(B) The registration fee shall be $15 per unit. The registration fee shall not be prorated for any portion of a year.
(C) The registration fee shall be payable upon filing the registration form with the Code Official.
(D) Reasons for Denial. The Code Official may withhold the issuance of a registration certificate if the rental dwelling is not ready or available for occupancy. If the rental dwelling is being constructed or remodeled, the registration shall not be issued until the rental dwelling has received a Certificate of Occupancy. If a Certificate of Occupancy is not issued within 90 days after the application is filed, the registration may be voided. If voided, no refund of the registration fee shall be made. The Code Official may also withhold issuance of a registration certificate if the applicant has had a previous registration certificate revoked.
