TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
Operative Text
Every new owner of a rental unit (whether as fee owner or contract purchaser) shall be required to furnish to the City Clerk the new owner’s name, address, and phone number, and the name, address, and phone number of the owner’s designated local manger before taking possession of the rental property upon closing of the transaction. No registration fee shall be required of the new owner during the year in which possession takes place, provided that the previous owner has paid all registration fees and has complied with all requirements of this subchapter and any violations of health, zoning, fire, or safety codes of the city. If any change in the type of occupancy as originally registered is contemplated by the new owner, a new registration application will be required. (Prior Code, § 3-0501, Subd. 6) Penalty, see § 150.999
Under Barnesville Rental Unit Registration and Regulations § 150.050, whenever a rental property changes hands, the incoming owner must provide their contact information and the contact information of their designated local manager to the City Clerk before taking possession. If the prior owner was current on all fees and in compliance with the subchapter and applicable health, zoning, fire, and safety codes, no registration fee is owed by the new owner for the remainder of that calendar year. Should the new owner intend to change the type of occupancy from what was originally registered, a fresh registration application is required before doing so.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators acquiring rental property in Barnesville should be aware that § 150.050 requires submitting their name, address, phone number, and those of their designated local manager to the City Clerk prior to closing and taking possession. Compliant buyers typically confirm that the selling owner has satisfied all outstanding registration fees and code-compliance obligations, since that status determines whether the registration-fee waiver for the acquisition year applies. If any change in occupancy type is planned, a new registration application is generally completed before implementing that change.
