Under McCook Ch. 18 Art. XIV § 18-403, landlord licenses run on a fixed annual cycle from January 1 through December 31 of each calendar year.

Plain English — not legal advice.
McCook Ch. 18 Art. XIV § 18-403 establishes a strict annual timeline that compliant rental property operators follow. Operators generally submit their new or renewal license applications well before the 30-day deadline that precedes the desired effective date, ensuring no gap in licensure across the January 1–December 31 license year. Tracking this deadline on an annual basis is a standard part of rental property administration under this provision.

McCook Ch. 18 Art. XIV § 18-403 requires that landlords hold a valid, timely obtained license covering the January 1–December 31 period. Tenants who have reason to believe their landlord is operating without a properly filed or current license may inquire with the relevant McCook municipal authority about a landlord's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with McCook's rental housing ordinances can help explain what options may be available when a landlord appears to be out of compliance with this provision.
