Peoria Heights ARTICLE A. RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRATION CODE § 9-8A-11
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION
Operative Text
The general penalties established at subsection 1-4-1 A of this Code shall apply to violations of this article. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense for which a separate penalty may be assessed. (Ord. 2018-1561, 6-19-2018)
Peoria Heights ARTICLE A. RESIDENTIAL RENTAL REGISTRATION CODE § 9-8A-11 establishes that violations of the residential rental registration rules are subject to the municipality's standard general penalty schedule, found elsewhere in the municipal code. Critically, each day a violation remains uncorrected is treated as a distinct, separate offense, meaning penalties can accumulate on a daily basis. The provision was adopted by ordinance in 2018 and ties enforcement of rental registration requirements to the broader municipal penalty framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-8A-11, operators of residential rental properties in Peoria Heights must remain in continuous compliance with the rental registration article, because each day a violation persists can trigger an independent penalty assessment. Compliant operators generally resolve any registration deficiencies promptly upon notice, since the daily-offense structure means that delays in correcting a violation can multiply the total penalties owed. Reviewing the general penalty schedule at subsection 1-4-1 A of the Peoria Heights Code helps property managers understand the financial exposure associated with any lapse in registration compliance.
