Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Marquette Heights § 3-11-5, compliant rental property operators submit their registration application to the City office no later than 30 days before the existing registration expires, along with the fee set out in § 3-11-8. A complete submission includes accurate contact details for the owner and any management agent, the property's legal address and permitted occupancy, and — where applicable — the names and addresses of any corporate registered agent, mortgage holder, or contract-for-deed buyer. Operators also provide a signed statement confirming awareness of the City's Building Safety, Nuisance, and Zoning codes, and they remain prepared to supply supplemental information if the City requests it.

Marquette Heights § 3-11-5 requires landlords to register their rental properties with the City and to disclose key information, including who owns and manages the property, the property's permitted occupancy level, and an acknowledgment of applicable building and zoning codes. This registration framework can be relevant to tenants because it creates a public record of ownership, management contacts, and occupancy limits. Tenants who have questions about whether a property is properly registered, or who believe occupancy or code requirements are not being met, may contact the City office directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
