Sun River Terrace Ch. 18 Art.

Registration can be denied or revoked if an owner has outstanding fees or fines owed to the village, and no occupants may remain in or move into a property whose registration has been denied. The provision also establishes a biennial fee schedule — $25.00 per home for single-family dwellings and complexes, and $15.00 per unit for multifamily and senior complex units — and requires a building inspection, scheduled within 15 working days of completed registration, with all utilities active at the time of inspection.

Under Sun River Terrace Ch. 18 Art. IV § 18-101, compliant rental property operators register each property with the village before leasing it and renew that registration on a two-year cycle, ensuring renewal occurs before the June 1 expiration date. Operators pay the applicable biennial registration fee in full before the registration is considered complete and an inspection is scheduled, and they resolve any outstanding village fees or fines prior to attempting registration or renewal. At the time of inspection, all utilities must be on and functioning; a first re-inspection is provided at no charge if the property fails the initial inspection, but a third inspection triggers an additional fee.

Sun River Terrace Ch. 18 Art. IV § 18-101 establishes that a rental property must hold a valid village registration before any occupant is permitted to live there, meaning tenants have an interest in knowing whether their unit is properly registered. If registration is denied or revoked, the village is required to notify the owner in writing and provide an opportunity to appeal, and no new occupancy is permitted until registration is restored. Tenants who have questions about the registration status of their unit or believe a violation may exist can contact the Village of Sun River Terrace directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
