Rental Housing

The City strives to preserve stable neighborhoods and property values. Our property maintenance program helps us ensure that rental units and properties are maintained in a safe and sanitary manner.

• Permits and Forms
  Look here for a Rental Dwelling License application along with other rental housing information, including answers to frequently asked questions.
• Housing Maintenance Code (Chapter 1009 of City Code)
  The housing maintenance code includes requirements for property maintenance as well as licensing regulations.

STAR Program

In an effort to improve the quality of rental housing, the City has established the Safer Tenant and Rental Certification (STAR) program for landlords. Reduced license fees are available for participation in the program in exchange for meeting certain criteria. The application for this program is part of the Rental Dwelling License application.
