Operative Text
Every person engaged in the business of renting or leasing hotel or motel rooms, mobilehome park or recreational vehicle park spaces or homes or apartments within the city, and having a total of five or more such rental units, shall pay a license tax of twenty dollars per year for the first five units, plus five dollars per year for each unit over five.
Anderson Code of Ordinances ch. 5.56 § 5.56.010 establishes a business license tax on rental property operators within the city. Any person renting or leasing five or more units — whether hotel or motel rooms, mobilehome or RV park spaces, or homes and apartments — owes an annual tax of $20 for the first five units, plus $5 for each additional unit beyond five. This is a municipal revenue measure, not a tenant-protection rule, and it applies across multiple property types.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Anderson Code of Ordinances ch. 5.56 § 5.56.010, operators of five or more rental units in Anderson are generally expected to obtain and maintain a business license and pay the annual tax calculated on their unit count. A compliant operator typically tracks the total number of rentable units, computes the base $20 charge for the first five units and the $5-per-unit charge for each unit above five, and remits payment on schedule. Keeping accurate unit counts and renewal records helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with this licensing requirement.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Anderson Code of Ordinances ch. 5.56 § 5.56.010 is a business licensing provision directed at landlords rather than a tenant-protection statute, so it does not create direct rights or remedies for renters. However, tenants who believe their landlord is operating without the required city license may find it useful to contact the City of Anderson to inquire about a property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations can help renters understand whether an unlicensed operation has any bearing on their particular rental situation.
