BACKGROUND:
Background
Ordinance No. 09-2025 updates the City’s rental property regulations to improve safety, protect property values, and ensure better management of both residential and vacation rentals. For residential rentals, property owners will be required to register, obtain a one-time inspection certificate, and conform the property’s condition every three years. Inspections will also be required when tenants change. For Vacation or short-term rentals, registration is required; however, due to state pre-emption, the City cannot regulate the frequency or duration of rentals. The City may, however, enforce standards related to noise, parking and safety. The Ordinance was approved on first reading, and revisions related to fire inspections were made prior to second reading.
