Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental property in Tilton should ensure each dwelling is registered by January 1 of each year in accordance with ch. 226 § 226-4. The registration fee, as set by the Board of Trustees, is submitted along with the registration form to the Code Official; a single fee generally covers a parcel for the ownership period unless ownership transfers. Compliant operators track ownership changes and re-register promptly when a property is acquired, since a mid-year certificate under § 226-4 still expires on December 31 of that year.

Tilton, Ill., Mun. Code ch. 226 § 226-4 requires landlords to register rental dwellings annually, which means tenants can inquire whether their unit holds a current, valid registration certificate for the applicable calendar year. If a landlord appears to be operating without a required registration, tenants may raise this as a potential code compliance issue with the Tilton Code Official.
