(b) Permits not renewed by the last day of January of each year shall be charged a penalty of $1.00 per month for each month overdue.
Under Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-127, rental permits issued under this division are valid only through December 31 of the year they are issued, expiring on January 1 of the following year. Landlords must renew their permits by the last day of January each year. Any permit that is not renewed by that January 31 deadline becomes subject to a late penalty of $1.00 per month for every month the renewal remains overdue.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-127, compliant operators track the annual January 1 expiration date for each permit issued under this division and complete renewal before the January 31 deadline. Missing that deadline triggers a $1.00-per-month late penalty that accumulates for each month the permit goes unrenewed. Property managers generally maintain a calendar reminder well ahead of the January 31 cutoff and keep documentation confirming timely renewal submissions.
