Registration required; fees
Operative Text
(a) Within sixty (60) days following the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, and biannually thereafter within thirty (30) days after September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2022, any nonresident owner of one (1) or more dwelling unit shall be required to file and maintain on file in the office of code enforcement of the City of Ansonia a signed statement including the following information for each property owned: (1) The current address and contact information of the nonresident owner of such property, if the owner is an individual. If a nonresident owner is a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal recognized entity, then names of all general partners and the current address and contact information of the agent in charge of the building; and (2) The names of all tenants currently residing on such properties; and (3) A listing of all motor vehicles kept on such properties. The Ansonia Building Department will maintain standard forms for use by nonresident owners to satisfy the reporting requirements of this section. However, failure to receive forms from the Ansonia Building Department shall not relieve nonresident owners from their obligations to file in a timely manner under this section. A copy of the signed statement shall be posted at each dwelling in a conspicuous place. (b) Nonresident owners are responsible for filing an updated signed statement within fifteen (15) days of any change to the information required by this section. (c) Any nonresident owner or agent who fails to file signed statements in a timely manner in accordance with this section shall be responsible for a one-hundred-dollar ($100.00) penalty for each month said signed statement is late. (d) If any such nonresident owner or agent fails to maintain on file information as required by this section, the address to which the city mails property tax bills or public water/sewer bills, for the residential rental housing unit shall be deemed to be the nonresident owner's or agent's current address. Such address may be used for compliance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this section. (e) Service of state or municipal orders relating to maintenance of any such dwelling unit or compliance with state law and local codes concerning such real property directed to the nonresident owner or agent at the address on file, or deemed to be on file in accordance with the provisions of this section, shall be sufficient proof of service of notice of such orders in any subsequent criminal or civil action against the nonresident owner or agent for failure to comply with the orders. (f) Any person who violates any provision of this section shall have committed an infraction.
Ansonia Code of Ordinances ch. 18 § 18-2e requires nonresident owners of rental dwelling units in Ansonia to register with the city's code enforcement office on a biannual basis, providing contact information, tenant names, and a list of motor vehicles kept on the property. A copy of the signed registration statement must be posted visibly at each dwelling. If a nonresident owner fails to keep this information current or file on time, the city may rely on tax or utility billing addresses as the official contact address, and service of orders to that address is legally sufficient notice in any subsequent action.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Nonresident property owners operating under Ansonia Code of Ordinances ch. 18 § 18-2e generally file their initial registration with the Ansonia code enforcement office and then renew biannually within 30 days after September 1 each year. Compliant operators keep their contact information, tenant rosters, and vehicle listings current by submitting updated statements within 15 days of any change, and they post a copy of the signed statement in a conspicuous location at each dwelling. Failing to file on time triggers a $100 penalty for each month the statement is late, and failing to maintain a current address on file means the city may use tax or utility billing records as the official address for service of orders.

Under Ansonia Code of Ordinances ch. 18 § 18-2e, tenants have an interest in knowing that their nonresident landlord is required to keep current registration information on file with the city and to post a copy of that statement in a visible location at the dwelling. If a landlord has not complied with these registration requirements, that failure may be relevant in code enforcement proceedings or other legal actions involving the property. Tenants who believe their landlord is not meeting these obligations can contact the Ansonia Building Department or code enforcement office, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
