Glen Carbon CHAPTER 3 RENTAL PROPERTY § 9-3-9
REVOCATION OF REGISTRATION
Operative Text
A. Causes For Revocation: The director of community development shall revoke a rental housing registration for one or more of the following causes: 1. Failure to apply for registration after the transfer of ownership. 2. Failure of responsible local agent to perform the duties delegated to him by the owner. 3. Failure to renew registration with full payment of fees and any penalties due. 4. Failure to be in compliance with all requirements of the rental housing code. B. Reconsideration Of Revocation: Any owner whose registration has been revoked shall be entitled to a reconsideration of the revocation by the director of community development. If no request for reconsideration of the revocation is filed with the director of community development in writing within ten (10) days following the issuance of the order of revocation, the registration shall be revoked. The director of community development shall set a time and place for any informal conference on the matter of reconsideration within five (5) working days of the receipt of such application, and shall advise the applicant to present his grounds for setting aside the revocation to the director of community development or to one or more of director of community development representatives. Within five (5) working days following the close of the informal conference, the director of community development shall give notice to the applicant in writing as to whether he will modify or set aside the notice of revocation. If, after the close of the informal conference, the director of community development finds insufficient cause to modify or set aside the order of revocation, the registration shall be revoked. Upon a finding by the director of community development that there is no longer cause for revocation of the rental housing registration, he shall reinstate the registration. (Ord. 94-19, 8-23-1994; amd. Ord. 2025-19, 5-27-2025)
Glen Carbon § 9-3-9 establishes the conditions under which the director of community development may revoke a rental property's registration, including failure to register after a change of ownership, failure of a local agent to fulfill assigned duties, failure to renew with full payment, or noncompliance with the rental housing code. An owner whose registration is revoked has ten days to request a written reconsideration, after which the director holds an informal conference and issues a written decision within five working days. If the director finds no remaining cause for revocation, the registration is reinstated; otherwise, the revocation stands.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Glen Carbon § 9-3-9, compliant rental property operators generally keep their registration current by renewing on time, paying all fees and penalties, updating registration promptly after any ownership transfer, and ensuring their designated local agent actively fulfills all assigned responsibilities. Operators also maintain ongoing compliance with the rental housing code to avoid triggering any of the enumerated revocation causes. If a revocation order is issued, the ten-day window to submit a written reconsideration request to the director of community development is a critical deadline to be aware of.

Glen Carbon § 9-3-9 means that a rental property operating without a valid registration may be subject to revocation proceedings initiated by the director of community development, which can be relevant context for tenants living in properties that appear to be out of compliance with local registration requirements. Tenants who believe their landlord is operating without a proper registration may consider contacting the Glen Carbon director of community development to inquire about a property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois municipal housing codes can also help tenants understand what options may be available when a landlord's registration is revoked or at risk of revocation under § 9-3-9.
