Evergreen Park ARTICLE VII. RENTAL HOUSING § 5-353
Time for registration
Operative Text
(a) Registration shall be effective for a period of July 1 through June 30 thereafter. Applications for residential rental license registration renewal must be filed at least 30 days prior to the registration expiration date. A failure to renew an existing residential rental license and registration will result in an additional charge as specified in this Article. (b) New owner registration. Any person becoming an owner of an existing registered rental unit shall file a complete license application and registration form within 30 days of the property transfer; however, the new owner will not be required to pay the license and registration fee until the next annual license and registration period if the previous owner had registered the property and paid the appropriate fee for that license year. (c) Notification of sale. A residential rental license is non-transferrable to another person or to another rental dwelling unit. Every person holding a residential rental license must give notice in writing to the village within five business days after having legally transferred or otherwise disposed of the ownership or legal control of any registered/licensed rental dwelling. Such notice must include the name, address and contact information of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of such rental dwelling or dwellings. (d) New rental unit registration. Rental units must be registered within 30 days after construction, conversion from owner-occupancy, or any other change from non-rental status. (Am. Ord. No. 27-2025 § 1, 12-15-25)
Evergreen Park § 5-353 establishes the timing rules for residential rental license registration. The registration year runs from July 1 through June 30, and renewals must be submitted at least 30 days before that expiration date or an additional charge applies. New owners of already-registered properties must file a fresh application within 30 days of a property transfer, and any newly constructed or converted rental unit must be registered within 30 days of becoming a rental. When a licensed property is sold or transferred, the outgoing owner must notify the village in writing within five business days, including the new owner's contact information, and the license itself does not transfer to the new owner or to a different unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Evergreen Park § 5-353, compliant rental property operators generally track the June 30 registration expiration date and submit renewal applications at least 30 days in advance to avoid additional charges. When acquiring a property that was already registered and had its fee paid for the current year, a new owner files the required application and registration form within 30 days of closing but is not required to pay the annual fee again until the next registration period. Sellers and outgoing owners typically provide written notice to the village within five business days of any transfer, including the successor's name, address, and contact information, since the residential rental license is non-transferable.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Evergreen Park § 5-353 gives tenants a basis for verifying that their landlord holds a current, valid residential rental license, since the provision requires timely registration and renewal and does not allow a license to transfer automatically when a property changes hands. If a rental unit appears to be operating without a properly renewed or newly filed registration—for example, after a recent sale or conversion—tenants can inquire with the village about the property's registration status. Tenants who believe a violation of § 5-353 exists may raise that concern with the village directly or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies or defenses may be available.
