This article shall not be construed as to restrict the right of this City to inspect any property nor to seek penalties for violations of other provisions of this Code.
For the purposes of this article, and for the conduct of residential rental inspections, the City is divided into geographic rental zones, and applications, renewals and inspections will be based on the time frame established for each zone, also referred to as the zone period.
A residential rental registration is valid for one year with an expiration date as identified on the registration. It is the responsibility of the registration holder to renew the rental registration prior to its expiration each year. The expiration of a rental registration shall be based on the geographic location of the premises, wherein a map of the geographic areas identifying the zones to be used in the administration of this article will be published and retained by the Community Development Director.
All applications, payments and inspections are due on the first day of the zone period where the property is located.
Any property for which the owner determines to provide residential rental use, shall be immediately registered with the City, notwithstanding the zone in which the property is located. Subsequent registrations shall follow the zone period.
Residential rental properties that are not in compliance by the beginning of the zone period for the property will be subject to late fees and/or additional fines and administrative adjudication. (Ord. O-07-001, 1-4-2007; amd. Ord. O-22-031, 11-17-2022)
