Farmington Hills — Ch. 7 Art. VIII Single-Family Rental Dwellings § 7-352
Fees
Operative Text
Except as may be otherwise provided in section 7-353 , the owner of the single-family rental dwelling shall be responsible for payment of registration, inspection, certificate of compliance and other fees involved in the administration and enforcement of this article, which fees shall be established by resolution of the city council.
Under Farmington Hills Ch. 7 Art. VIII § 7-352, the financial responsibility for registration, inspection, certificate of compliance, and other administrative fees associated with single-family rental dwellings falls on the property owner, not the tenant. The specific dollar amounts for these fees are not fixed in the ordinance itself but are instead set by city council resolution, meaning they can be updated without amending the code. An exception may apply under § 7-353, which can shift or modify this fee responsibility in certain circumstances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 7-352, operators of single-family rental dwellings in Farmington Hills are generally responsible for covering all fees tied to registration, inspection, and certificate of compliance processes required by Ch. 7 Art. VIII. Compliant property owners typically track current fee schedules as established by city council resolution, since those amounts can change over time without a code amendment. Reviewing § 7-353 is also part of due diligence, as that section may outline any exceptions to the standard fee-responsibility rule.

Section 7-352 of Farmington Hills Ch. 7 Art. VIII places the burden of registration, inspection, and compliance fees squarely on the property owner, not the occupant of a single-family rental dwelling. Tenants who believe a landlord is improperly passing these fees along may find it useful to review the ordinance text and consult a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Farmington Hills regulations. If a dispute arises, referencing § 7-352 directly — and checking whether § 7-353 applies — can help clarify which party bears legal responsibility for the fees in question.
