Rental Property Registration
Notice to all Youngstown rental property owners:
As of June 1, 2010, the City Of Youngstown is requiring all rental properties to be registered. Please fill out the Rental Property Registration (RPR) Form for each rented property and return it, along with the fees for each unit, to the Finance Department of the City of Youngstown by
October 6, 2010. The fees are as follows: $20.00 per single unit property. If you own a multi-unit property, the fees are $20.00 for the first unit plus $15.00 for each additional rental unit that is in that building. Upon completion and return of the form and fees, you will be issued a provisional license.
All properties are subject to inspection. If the property is found to be in compliance with the Rental Property Registration (RPR) ordinance, you will be issued a Rental Property License. Whether you have a Rental Property License or a Provisional License, you will be required to renew the license every year. The renewal fees are the same as those outlined above.
If the property is not in compliance with the Rental Property Registration ordinance upon completion of the inspection, the owner must make repairs and have the rental property re-inspected within 60 days. The cost of re-inspection is fifty dollars ($50.00). If after the re- inspection the property is still not in compliance, the owner may be ordered to pay up to $100.00 per inspection until the property meets the RPR ordinance standards. The fee for a third (and any subsequent) inspection is $100.00. Enclosed you will find the inspection checklist. Please take the time to check your units before the inspector arrives. Any property that does not meet the standards outlined in the RPR ordinance is subject to license denial, revocation, suspension or non-renewal. The penalty fee may be up to $100.00 for units that are rented without a valid rental license or provisional license.
