(a) The owner of the rental unit shall renew the registration of a rental unit on or before January 1 of each year. At the time of renewal, on a form prescribed by the City, the owner shall supplement the information provided to reflect any changes. The renewal shall be received by January 1, and the fee for said renewal shall be fifty dollars ($50.00) for the first rental unit and thirty-five dollars ($35.00) for each additional rental unit after the first. Any renewal fee received after January 31 shall be assessed an additional late fee of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) per unit.
(b) If there are any changes from the original application (i.e. change in occupancy), a new application with updated information shall be turned in within thirty days at no additional cost.
(c) City's remedy for owner's failure to renew registration. If the owner has failed to renew the registration within thirty days of January 31, the Finance Director shall make a written return to the County Auditor for the renewal fee due under this section with a statement of the fees and a proper description of the premises. Such amounts, when allowed, shall be entered upon the tax duplicate and be a lien upon such lands from and after the date of the entry and be collected as other taxes and returned to the City's General Fund.
