Barstow Code of Ordinances ch. 5.91 § 5.91.100 establishes a renewal process for residential rental certificates of compliance. Property owners must submit their renewal application and pay all required fees at least 30 days before the current certificate expires, and the renewal process mirrors the requirements for obtaining a new certificate. After two or more consecutive inspection cycles with no violations, the building official has discretion to extend the inspection interval by up to two years.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Barstow Code of Ordinances ch. 5.91 § 5.91.100, compliant rental property operators track their certificate of compliance expiration dates and submit renewal applications along with all required fees no later than 30 days before expiration. The renewal process requires meeting the same standards and fees as a new certificate, with the exception of any provisions outlined in § 5.91.090. Operators who have maintained a clean inspection record across two or more consecutive cycles may be eligible for a discretionary frequency upgrade, reducing how often inspections are required going forward.
