Farmington Hills — Ch. 7 Art. VIII Single-Family Rental Dwellings § 7-345
Issuance of certificate of compliance
Operative Text
A certificate of compliance shall be issued for a single-family rental dwelling only after: (1) An inspection of the home and the premises upon which it is located by the code official verifies that there are no violations of the inspection guidelines described in section 7-350 and the ordinances and codes upon which they are based. (2) All registration, inspection and other fees have been paid and the dwelling has been registered and all registration information is current as provided in section 7-343 .
Under Farmington Hills Ch. 7 Art. VIII § 7-345, a certificate of compliance for a single-family rental dwelling may only be issued once two conditions are fully satisfied: a code official must inspect the property and confirm it has no violations of the guidelines set out in § 7-350 and the underlying ordinances, and all required fees must be paid with registration information kept current under § 7-343. The certificate is the formal municipal sign-off that the rental unit meets local housing standards. Neither condition alone is sufficient — both must be met before the certificate can be granted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of single-family rental dwellings in Farmington Hills should understand that § 7-345 ties the issuance of a certificate of compliance to two parallel tracks: a clean inspection by the code official under the § 7-350 guidelines, and complete, up-to-date registration with all associated fees paid as required by § 7-343. Compliant operators typically ensure the property is free of code violations before scheduling an inspection and confirm that registration records and fee payments are current well in advance. Letting registration lapse or leaving fees unpaid can block issuance of the certificate even if the property passes inspection.

Tenants in single-family rental dwellings in Farmington Hills can look to § 7-345 to understand what a certificate of compliance represents — confirmation that the property passed a code official's inspection under § 7-350 and that the landlord has met all registration and fee obligations under § 7-343. If a rental unit lacks a valid certificate, that may indicate unresolved code violations or registration deficiencies worth investigating. Tenants who have concerns about whether their dwelling holds a current certificate may consider contacting the Farmington Hills code enforcement office directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
