Lynwood — Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-267
License term
Operative Text
A group home license issued under this article shall be valid for a period of one year unless otherwise revoked or terminated as a result of transfer of ownership. Renewal license applications shall provide all information as set forth in section 54-262 of this article.
Under Lynwood Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-267, a group home license has a standard validity period of one year from the date of issuance. The license does not automatically carry over if the property changes ownership — a transfer of ownership triggers revocation or termination. When seeking to continue operating, license holders must submit a renewal application that includes all the information required by § 54-262.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of licensed group homes in Lynwood should be aware that under § 54-267, each license expires after one year and must be actively renewed before that deadline. If ownership of the property is transferred, the existing license is revoked or terminated, meaning the new owner cannot simply assume the prior license. A compliant operator submits a renewal application containing all information specified in § 54-262 well in advance of the expiration date and notifies the appropriate authority promptly upon any change in ownership.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of group homes in Lynwood have an interest in knowing that under § 54-267, the facility is required to hold a current, valid license — one that is renewed annually and that does not survive a transfer of ownership without a new application. If a group home appears to be operating without a valid license, tenants or their advocates may raise this as a concern with the City of Lynwood's relevant licensing or code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing regulations can help residents understand what options are generally available when a facility's licensing status is in question.
