Rental Registration (1-4 Units)
On March 17, 2008, the City of Roseville adopted a rental registration ordinance
requiring property owners who rent property with 1 to 4 units to have their units registered with the City on an annual basis.
This program provides a way to identify and quantify rental units within the city to help ensure that rental property is properly maintained. In 2015, the ordinance was reviewed to see if it was being implemented as intended and having the desired effect. The review concluded that the program is effective overall.
The following changes were adopted in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2021:
