Rental housing owners in Sioux Falls who have not renewed their registrations and received permits need to do so, building officials announced today.

As of December 31, 2007, registrations expired. To be in compliance with the City’s rental housing ordinance, property owners will need to renew.

The ordinance, which was enacted in 2004 and readopted in 2007, requires registration and permitting of all residential rental units in Sioux Falls. A residential unit is defined as a building or structure including real property which is rented or offered for rent as living quarters, excluding on-campus housing, hospital or nursing home units, and hotels or motels.

There is no fee for this registration and permit. An application can be obtained at Building Services which can be filled out and returned per the following:
