For Property Managers

Under Rogers Code of Ordinances ch. 105, art. IV § 105-185, operators of licensed rental dwellings in Rogers should expect that city compliance officials may enter the property at reasonable times to conduct inspections. Compliant operators typically maintain their properties in a condition that meets code requirements so that any written violation notice can be addressed promptly within the stated timeframe. If a compliance deadline cannot reasonably be met, the provision allows the compliance official to grant an extension based on good cause, so documenting the reasons for any delay is a practice commonly associated with seeking such relief.
