The registration application requires specific information, including owner and manager contact details, the property address, unit types, repair-authorization contacts, and proof of home insurance.

Under Aurora Ch. 154 § 154.03, compliant rental property operators ensure that every unit is registered with the Aurora City Administrator before any tenant occupies it, and that registration is kept current. Operators typically designate a local property manager if the owner is not locally available, and maintain accurate records for all required fields on the city-issued registration form, including insurance documentation. Keeping repair-authorization contacts up to date is also part of maintaining a valid registration under this section.

Aurora Ch. 154 § 154.03 requires that any rental unit you occupy must hold a valid, current registration issued by the Aurora City Administrator — meaning an unregistered unit is not lawfully available for rent. Tenants can verify whether a unit is properly registered by contacting the Aurora City Administrator's office, and an unregistered unit may constitute a violation that can be raised in relevant proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Aurora's rental regulations can help explain what options are generally available when a unit appears to lack proper registration under this provision.
