Skokie — Ch. 22 Art. XIV Rental Unit Registration § 22-503
Method of registration and fee
Operative Text
To obtain a Residential Rental Unit Registration the Owner must file the prescribed application with the Property Standards Division of the Community Development Department of the Village containing all of the required information to include but not be limited to property Owner, management name and contact information for both. Applications to register a Residential Rental Unit shall be obtained from the Property Standards Division of the Community Development Department. Any fee required for the Residential Rental Unit Registration shall be submitted with the application, as set forth in Section 46-135 of the Skokie Village Code and the date of a completed application submission with fee and confirmation of compliance with Section 22-508 of the Skokie Village Code, shall be the date of Residential Rental Unit Registration. Should the Owner decide not to rent or lease the Residential Rental Unit within ninety (90) days of Residential Rental Unit Registration, the Owner may apply for a refund of the registration fee.
Section 22-503 of Skokie's Ch. 22 Art. XIV establishes the process by which residential rental units must be registered with the Village. An owner must submit a completed application—including owner and management contact information—along with the required fee (set by § 46-135) and proof of compliance with § 22-508 to the Property Standards Division of the Community Development Department; registration is considered effective on the date that complete submission is confirmed. If an owner decides not to rent the unit within 90 days of registration, a refund of the registration fee may be requested.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 22-503, compliant rental property operators in Skokie obtain their registration application directly from the Property Standards Division of the Community Development Department and submit it fully completed, with accurate owner and management contact details, the applicable fee per § 46-135, and evidence of § 22-508 compliance. Operators keep records of their submission date, as that date marks the official start of registration. Operators who ultimately choose not to rent a unit within 90 days of registration are aware that the Village provides a fee-refund option during that window.

Section 22-503 requires that landlords in Skokie formally register their rental units with the Village's Property Standards Division before renting, which means tenants can inquire with the Community Development Department to confirm whether a unit is properly registered. A landlord's failure to comply with the registration process established by § 22-503 may be relevant information when evaluating a rental situation or raising concerns with local authorities. Tenants who have questions about a landlord's registration status may contact the Property Standards Division directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
