McCook — Ch. 18 Art. XIV Rental Housing § 18-406
License fee
Operative Text
The annual fee for a landlord license shall be $50.00 per dwelling unit to be licensed, but in no event shall the license fee be less than $100.00. In the event a fully completed application for an annual landlord license for the following calendar year is submitted to the village clerk's office on or before the first day of November, the annual license fee for the following calendar year shall be waived. No landlord license shall be transferrable.
Under McCook Ch. 18 Art. XIV § 18-406, landlords must pay an annual licensing fee of $50 per dwelling unit, with a minimum total fee of $100. However, if a fully completed renewal application is submitted to the village clerk's office by November 1, the entire annual fee for the following calendar year is waived. Licenses issued under this provision are non-transferable, meaning they cannot be passed from one owner to another.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 18-406, compliant rental property operators in McCook obtain a separate license for each property they own, paying $50 per dwelling unit with a $100 floor. Operators who submit a fully completed application to the village clerk's office on or before November 1 can have the following year's fee waived entirely. Because licenses are non-transferable under this section, operators who acquire new rental properties must obtain a fresh license rather than relying on any license previously held by a prior owner.

Section 18-406 establishes that landlords operating rental units in McCook are required to hold a valid, non-transferable license, which signals a baseline level of regulatory oversight for renters. Tenants who are uncertain whether their landlord holds a current license may inquire with the village clerk's office, which administers the licensing program under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations can help renters understand what options may be available if a landlord is found to be operating without the required license.
