Late fee. The property owner has the responsibility to renew their permit by the expiration date. Renewal applications received within 60 days of expiration shall be assessed a late fee. Rental properties which have not submitted an application within 60 days of expiration will be considered in violation of this chapter.
(3)
Reinspection fees. A reinspection fee shall be imposed for any property undergoing a follow-up inspection.
E.
Permit duration and renewal.
(1)
Permits issued after receipt of a self-affidavit shall expire on December 31 of the year in which it was issued.
(2)
Permits issued after an inspection shall expire the third-year from issuance.
(a)
A renewal permit issued to the same property and owner that receives a fully compliant inspection will be valid for seven years for subsequent permits as long as no violations are identified. Properties with a documented failed inspection will be given a three-year renewal, after correction, rather than a seven-year renewal.
(3)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a permit shall expire upon any change in rental use or ownership.
(4)
The property owner is responsible for renewing their permit on a timely basis. Property owners may first submit for renewal at four months from the expiration date. In no event shall a property owner submit for renewal less than two months before the expiration date. If a completed permit renewal application is submitted during the two to four month period before the expiration, the property shall be considered in compliance with this chapter until a formal decision is made to renew or deny the permit. If a completed permit renewal application is submitted less than two months before the renewal date, the existing permit shall expire in the ordinary course.
