IAR Local Government Affairs Director (GAD) Conor Brown
According to an iReport from IAR Local Government Affairs Director (GAD) Conor Brown: “City of Rockford Alderman Ann Thompson-Kelly stood up on council floor last week to again push for requiring rental property owners to obtain a certificate of registration (licencing), a mandatory inspection and pay fees.”
Says Brown, Rockford Area REALTORS® secured a verbal commitment from Mayor Larry Morrissey to not pursue any of these and instead stick with simple landlord registration. The registration fees would be $20 per unit, plus inspection fees to be determined, a cost born by the property owner.
Conor Brown is IAR’s representative for the Belvidere, Northwestern Illinois, Heartland and Rockford Area REALTOR® organizations.
