Date: <br />Name: <br />Address: <br />Re: City of Paris Rental Property Licensing Registration <br />Property Address & LCAD No: <br />Dear Prospective Rental Licensing Landlord, <br />On _, the Paris City Council, following recommendation from the Paris Historic Preservation <br />Commission, adopted new rental and vacant property registration program registration requirements <br />for all residential properties located in designated Historical Districts. The purpose of this new <br />regulation is to ensure that rental housing units meet minimum safety and health standards by providing <br />a system for ensuring that both absentee and local landlords correct deficiencies and properly maintain <br />rental property within the city. This purpose will be achieved by providing a system of organized inspection <br />of residential rental units in the City's Historic Districts by developing a system to monitor and inspect the <br />orderly and safe occupancy of residential rental units in these areas. <br />• Interior inspections will be conducted to ensure the property adheres to regulations designed to <br />protect the safety and welfare of the tenants. Additional information is provided in the brochure. <br />• Exterior inspections of the premises including the yard, building, storage buildings, and fences will <br />be conducted on a biannual basis. Additional information is provided in the brochure. <br />A non-refundable rental registration fee of $55.00 is assessed for each property and is due in April <br />of every year. A statement for the rental registration fee will be mailed to you on the first of March or <br />within 30 days of receiving an initial registration form if you register a property during the year. <br />In an effort to keep rental property owners and tenants informed about changes to policy or <br />procedure, or to provide specific inspection information about your property, we are asking owners <br />to supply an email address on your application. <br />Thank you for your review of these materials. For more information or questions on this rental <br />registration, licensing and inspection program, please contact the Building Inspection Department at <br />903-784-9246. <br />DCN -0000 (rev M/Y) 150 Se In ST PARIS, TX 75461 TELEPHONE (903) 785-7511 Page 1 of 1 <br />
