Applications
Operative Text
Applications for issuance of a business license for commercial and residential income properties shall be submitted in accordance with Section 5.04.080 and within three (3) months of commencement of the use of the property as rental income property, either as a new use or as a change of use. This application fee shall not apply to any property for which a business license has been applied for and previously obtained.
Woodlake Code of Ordinances ch. 5.50 § 5.50.020 establishes a deadline and process for obtaining a business license when a property begins operating as a rental income property. Owners must submit an application following the procedures in Section 5.04.080 within three months of starting that rental use, whether the property is newly converted to rental use or is changing its use category. Properties that already hold a previously obtained business license are exempt from the associated application fee.

Under Woodlake Code of Ordinances ch. 5.50 § 5.50.020, compliant operators generally submit a business license application through the process outlined in Section 5.04.080 no later than three months after a property first begins generating rental income or undergoes a change of use to rental income property. Keeping records of when a rental use commenced helps demonstrate timely compliance with this deadline. Operators who have already obtained a business license for a property are not required to pay the application fee again for that same property.
