Kansas City Rental Property Registration Program
Effective today, January 1, 2008, it is MANDATORY that all owners of rental property within Kansas City, Missouri limits register their income homes. Registration runs through January 2008 without penalty. Penalty for non-registration on and after February 1, 2008, will be $50 per unit.
To get all of the details you will need to follow this link. From this link you will be able to download the proper forms to take care of this task.
Again, Kansas City now requires rental property to be registered with the city. Hopefully, this is as far as the law will go. Based on how they've mismanaged just about every other program under their care and supervision we can only hope they don't go to mandatory yearly inspections with fees.

Chris, What is the stated purpose of the registration program? Is rent control in the offing?
Bill Roberts
Bill - as you know the stated purpose and the end result are two different things. :)
The stated purpose is to control blight and abandoned properties. They want to know who is hiding behind the LLCs, especially the out of towners. But we all know that it's the first step towards charging for rent licenses and so forth. They just couldn't get the charges through this time. I'm sure they'll revisit it.
Chris,
Thank you for posting this timely information. I am sure that someone will save money as a result of your courtesy.
