Cromwell, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (2026) § 150-6
Required registration (Cromwell Landlord Registration)
Operative Text
A. By October 1, 2011, any nonresident owner of an existing occupied or vacant residential rental real property or dwelling unit shall be required to file and maintain on file in the Cromwell Health Department the current residential address 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 the current residential address of the agent in charge of the property or dwelling unit shall be filed in the Cromwell Health Department. B. If such residential address changes, notice of the new residential address shall be provided by such nonresident owner or agent in charge of the building to the Health Department of the Town of Cromwell not more than 30 days after the date that the address change occurred. C. If any such nonresident owner or agent fails to maintain on file an address as required by this section, the address to which the Town mails property tax bills for the residential rental property or dwelling unit shall be deemed to be the nonresident owner or agent's current address. Such address may be used for compliance with the provisions of Subsection D of this section. D. Service of state or municipal orders relating to maintenance of any such residential rental property or 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.
Cromwell, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 § 150-6 requires nonresident owners of residential rental properties in Cromwell to register a current residential address — or, for entities like corporations and partnerships, the address of the property's managing agent — with the Cromwell Health Department. If that address changes, an updated address must be filed within 30 days. Once an address is on file (or deemed on file via the tax-bill address), it can be used as the official point of contact for town and state maintenance orders, and service of those orders at that address is considered legally sufficient notice in any subsequent civil or criminal proceeding.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 150-6, nonresident property owners and their managing agents generally keep a current residential address on file with the Cromwell Health Department at all times, and promptly update that filing within 30 days whenever the address changes. Operators who own through a corporation, partnership, trust, or similar entity ensure that the agent in charge of the property is the one whose address is registered. Maintaining an accurate filing matters because any address on file — or the tax-bill address if no filing exists — can be used to serve official maintenance or code-compliance orders that carry legal weight in court.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 150-6 establishes a public registration system that helps ensure nonresident landlords can be reached by the town for maintenance and code-compliance matters affecting rental properties. If a landlord has not kept a current address on file, the town may still serve orders using the property tax-bill address, which means enforcement of housing standards can proceed even when a landlord is difficult to locate. Tenants who believe their property has code or maintenance issues may contact the Cromwell Health Department, which administers this registration system, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
