Rental Registration and Inspections in Berkley

The City of Berkley requires rental property to be registered and inspected. A long term rental may not be rented unless it is registered with the building official and the City has issued a certificate of compliance.

  • Registration: The owner registers each rental with the City and names any managing agent. Long term rental units are homes, apartments or similar residential buildings rented for 30 or more days. Single-room rentals are not covered.
  • Inspection cycle: The City inspects after it receives the application. The rental license is valid for two years, and the licensing process, including inspection, is repeated every two years.
