Title

SECOND READING

AMENDING CHAPTER 18 ARTICLE X. - LICENSES FOR RENTAL DWELLINGS, SEC. 18-504. - TERM OF LICENSE AND SEC. 18-505. - LICENSE FEES

Background

At the January 18, 2018, workshop Council directed staff to move forward with staff’s recommendation to amend the rental licensing license period from June 1 to January 1. 

In order to make this possible this year’s license renewal period will be for 19 months starting June 1, 2018 and valid until December 31, 2019.  Beginning in 2020 residential rental licenses will be issued for a licensing period from January 1^st to December 31^st annually.  The City will not be charging a fee for the 19^th month; this will be a one-time change and will revert back to the 12-month fee for the 2020 license year as outlined in the table below:

Unit Type	Normal - 12-month Fee	One-time - 18-month Fee
Regular Rate	$180/bldg.+$10/unit = $190 for a	$270/bldg.+$15/unit= $285
	single unit building	for a single unit building
Reduced Rate	$130/bldg.+$10/unit = $140 for a	$195/bldg.+$15/unit= $210
	single unit building	for a single unit building
