Calabasas, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 5.16 § 5.16.050
Registration fee
Operative Text
Each time a unit is registered pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, the owner of such unit shall pay a fee to cover the city's cost of administering this program, in an amount established by resolution of the city council.
Under Calabasas Code of Ordinances ch. 5.16 § 5.16.050, whenever a rental unit is registered under the city's rent regulation program, a fee is owed to the city to offset the administrative costs of running that program. The fee amount is not fixed in the ordinance itself but is instead set by a separate resolution passed by the Calabasas City Council, meaning it can be updated without amending the code. This structure allows the city to adjust the fee over time to reflect actual program costs.
