9-2-5: ANNUAL REGISTRATION; RENEWALS:
   A.   Registration shall be required annually and be issued prior to the renewal date. The City will annually mail registration renewal forms to rental unit owners or their designated local property managers at least ninety (90) days prior to expiration. Failure of the City to mail a renewal form and failure of an owner or local property manager to receive a renewal form does not excuse or waive the registration required by this chapter. Completed registration renewal forms, containing all required information, must be delivered to the Administrator at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of the existing registration. The City may issue registration renewals prior to the renewal date of each successive year. If by the renewal date a registration has not been renewed, a reinstatement fee for each rental unit will be charged.
   B.   A person or entity who is operating a rental unit after the registration has expired is operating an unregistered rental unit. (Ord. 151, 9-10-2018)
