Owners who are required to register their properties pursuant to this article shall submit a copy of a driver’s license and an affidavit containing the following information:
(1) The name of the owner of the property.
(2) A mailing address where mail may be sent that will be acknowledged as received by the owner. If certified mail/return receipt requested is sent to the address and the mail is returned marked “refused” or “unclaimed,” or if ordinary mail sent to the address is returned for whatever reason, then such occurrence shall be prima facie proof that the owner has failed to comply with this requirement.
(3) The name, driver’s license number, birth date, and contact information of the individual responsible for the care and control of the property. The responsible party may be the owner, if the owner is an individual, or may be someone other than the owner with whom he/she has contracted. Owners who do not reside within a one hundred mile radius of the City shall appoint a Michigan based resident agent or other responsible party upon whom notices and services of process may be made.
(4) A current address, phone number, fax, and email address (if fax and email addresses are available) where communications may be sent that will be acknowledged as received by the individual responsible for the care and control of the property. If certified mail/return receipt requested is sent to the address and the mail is returned marked “refused” or “unclaimed,” or if ordinary mail sent to the address is returned for whatever reason, then such occurrence shall be prima facie proof that the owner has failed to comply with this requirement.
(5) Permission to city authorized staff to access the exterior of the property for inspection purposes.
