Rental and Lodging Registration & Inspection Program
The Rental and Lodging Registration and Inspection Program will ensure and promote healthy and safe conditions for all rental properties and hotel/motels establishments throughout the Town of Addison by proactively enforcing applicable codes and ordinances. This program applies to all rental properties, including single-family, townhomes, duplexes, condominiums, apartments, as well as hotel/motel establishments.
The City Council established Public Safety as a Key Focus Area (KFA) for the 2024-2025 Strategic Plan. Within this KFA, the development and implementation of a rental housing and lodging registration and inspection program was identified as an initiative to improve safety of our residents and visitors.
