Antioch CHAPTER 8 RENTAL HOUSE REGULATIONS § 5-8-4 establishes the process by which residential rental property owners must apply for a certificate of compliance with the village. Owners are required to submit a standardized application containing specific contact and property details, pay the applicable fee, and keep that information current by filing updates within 30 days of any changes. Applications must initially be filed within 120 days of the chapter's effective date, and renewals must be submitted at least 30 days before a certificate expires. Owners who miss these deadlines face a doubled application and inspection fee, and the village retains the option to issue a temporary certificate lasting up to 60 days when no life-safety or health violations are present.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 5-8-4, compliant operators generally maintain an up-to-date application on file with the village that includes their own contact information, their property agent's contact information, the property address, and its square footage, along with the required fee. Operators typically track certificate expiration dates and submit renewal applications at least 30 days in advance to avoid the 200% penalty fee triggered by late filings. Whenever ownership details, agent information, or other previously submitted data change, a revised application is ordinarily filed within the 30-day update window to remain in good standing.

§ 5-8-4 requires that landlords in Antioch hold a valid certificate of compliance for each residential rental property, which signals that the property has been reviewed by the village. Tenants can check whether their landlord has obtained and maintained this certificate, since a missing or lapsed certificate may indicate the property has not undergone the required inspection process. Tenants who have concerns about compliance can contact the village's code enforcement office, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how this requirement may be relevant to their situation.
