Chapter 72. Housing and Life Safety Standards
§ 72-3. Rental Property Permit Program.
Pursuant to RSA 41:11-C, the Town of Conway enacts the following Rental Property Permit Program. The purpose of the program is to verify rental properties are compliant with all applicable laws and regulations, including building, fire, and life safety codes, laws, and regulations.
A.
Permit required.
(1)
No housing unit shall be rented without a rental property permit. All rental property owners shall apply for a permit for each rental property owned by them in the Town of Conway.
(2)
An owner or authorized owner's representative of all rental properties must apply for a permit by submitting the applicable application, authorized by the Selectboard to the Designated Official. A completed application, to include required fees, will render the property in compliance until the Town makes a final determination on the application. The Town will review the written application, determine if more information is needed, and will issue a final determination once the requirements of this chapter are met.
(3)
Permits shall be issued on a per-property basis. For the avoidance of doubt, each condominium unit shall constitute a separate property.
(4)
Within 180 days of issuance, any property that has received a certificate of occupancy (CO) may apply to receive a permit without further inspection. The permit shall be valid for three years unless the property is found to be in noncompliance.
(5)
