Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 § 8-14-3-3 establishes three ongoing reporting duties tied to residential rental housing licenses. License holders must notify the Building Department within seven days of any managing agent change, and must report any property conveyance both within seven days of contract execution and at least fifteen days before the transfer takes place. At the time a license is first issued, the licensee must also submit a legible floor-plan drawing showing unit locations, utility shutoffs, and emergency-access hardware.

Operators subject to Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 § 8-14-3-3 generally maintain a practice of promptly updating the Building Department whenever a managing agent is replaced, tracking both the contract-execution date and the anticipated closing date for any property sale to meet the dual reporting windows, and preparing an accurate site drawing at initial licensure that identifies every unit, utility disconnect, and knox box. Keeping dated records of each notification helps demonstrate compliance with the seven-day and fifteen-day deadlines. The presale reporting window is specifically designed to allow the Building Department time to conduct the required inspection under section 8-10-6, so early notification is a routine part of a compliant sale process.

Under Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 § 8-14-3-3, tenants have an interest in knowing that their building's licensing records—including who manages the property and who owns it—are required to be kept current with the Building Department. If a property changes hands or a new managing agent takes over without the required notifications, that may represent a licensing compliance issue that can be raised with the Countryside Building Department. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help residents understand how these reporting requirements connect to broader protections, such as the presale inspection process referenced in section 8-10-6.
