(B) No registration fee shall be required of the new owner during the year in which possession takes place, provided that the previous owner has paid all registration fees and has complied with all requirements of this chapter and any violations of health, zoning, fire or safety codes of the city.

Dilworth Ch. 152 Rental Units § 152.06 governs what happens when a rental property changes hands. Any new owner—whether acquiring full title or purchasing under a contract—must provide their contact information and the contact information of a local property manager to the City Administrator before taking possession at closing. If the new owner plans to change how the property is occupied compared to what was originally registered, a fresh registration application is required. Additionally, the new owner may be exempt from paying a registration fee in the year they take possession, but only if the prior owner was fully current on fees and in compliance with all applicable city codes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.06, operators who acquire a rental property in Dilworth generally ensure that the City Administrator receives the new owner's name, address, and phone number—along with the same information for a designated local manager—before the closing transaction is finalized. Compliant operators also verify that the previous owner has satisfied all registration fees and code requirements, which is the condition that allows the new owner to avoid a registration fee in the year of acquisition. If the new owner intends to change the type of occupancy from what was originally registered, § 152.06(C) requires filing a new registration application before that change takes effect.

Section 152.06 of Dilworth's rental unit regulations means that when a rental property is sold or transferred, the incoming owner is obligated to register with the City Administrator and identify a local manager before taking possession—giving tenants a point of contact from the outset. If a new owner is contemplating a change in the type of occupancy, § 152.06(C) requires a new registration, which may be relevant to tenants whose living arrangements could be affected by such a change. Tenants who believe a new owner has not complied with these registration requirements may consider contacting the Dilworth City Administrator's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are generally available.
