Rental licensing / registration

Every rental housing operator, no matter how many units, needs an annual inspection permit and pays an annual inspection and regulatory fee on top of the business license tax. The code states: "Every person engaged in the business of renting, leasing, maintaining or conducting rental housing, regardless of the number of rental housing units, shall first obtain an annual inspection permit and pay an annual inspection and regulatory fee as established by resolution of the city council" (§ 5.06.020).
