- Certificate: A rental dwelling or rental unit shall not be occupied without a valid Certificate of Compliance. The certificate is valid for three years.
- Inspection cycle: Rental homes and apartments are required to have inspections every 3 years.
- Local agent: Owners must designate a responsible local agent who resides in the county or within a 50-mile radius of the city. An owner who meets that test may act as the agent.
