No license shall be issued without the approval of the Building Department. No license shall be issued unless all inspections required by section 8-10-6 of this chapter have been completed and approved. The license may be withheld for failure to comply with applicable statutes and ordinances, or due to outstanding or unpaid funds owed to the City of Countryside. Any or all other amounts due to the City by the owner in part or in whole must be paid before the owner can register any rental property. (Ord. 18-03-O, 2-7-2018; amd. Ord. 21-36-O, 9-22-2021)

Approval from the Building Department is required, and all inspections mandated by section 8-10-6 must be completed and passed before a license can be granted. A license may also be withheld if the property owner has outstanding debts to the City of Countryside or is not in compliance with applicable laws and ordinances.

Under Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 § 8-14-3-4, compliant rental property operators typically ensure that all required inspections under section 8-10-6 are scheduled and approved before seeking a license, and that Building Department approval is secured. Operators also confirm that no outstanding balances or unpaid amounts are owed to the City of Countryside prior to attempting to register any rental property. Keeping municipal accounts current and maintaining inspection records are practices associated with smooth license issuance under this provision.

Countryside Title 8 Ch. 14 § 8-14-3-4 means that a landlord is required to hold a valid license—one that can only be issued after Building Department approval, completed inspections under section 8-10-6, and resolution of any debts owed to the City. Tenants who have concerns about whether their rental unit is properly licensed may contact the City of Countryside's Building Department to inquire about a property's license status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help renters understand what options may be available when a rental property appears to be operating without a properly issued license.
