Rental Dwelling Registration
Beginning March 1, 2009, all owners of residential rental properties within the City of Raleigh will be required to register their rental properties under Article H: of the City of Raleigh Code. Use the Public Access program to register all rental properties between March 1, 2009 and May 15, 2009. All rental properties must be renewed each year thereafter during the same time period.
The Rental Dwelling Registration Ordinance was adopted by City Council on July 1, 2008 and deemed necessary in order to promote public health, welfare, good order and safety of the City of Raleigh and its residents. The goal of creating this Rental Registration database is to promote responsible management, assist in providing a safe habitat for residents and neighbors of rental dwellings, safeguard property values and expedite repair of residential housing accommodations. The database may also be used to improve contact in case of emergency by Police, Fire, EMS or Inspections.
Owners of rental properties are responsible for payment of rental registration fees. The registration fee for the first or only rental dwelling unit on a property (parcel) is $30.00. The fee for each additional rental dwelling unit on the same parcel is $10.00. For example, if the owner is registering a 4 unit apartment building, the costs would be $60 ($30.00 +$10.00 +10.00 +10.00). If the owner registers 3 single family dwellings on separate parcels the costs would be $90 ($30.00 + $30.00 + $30.00).
