Plain English — not legal advice.
Under East Bethel Code of Ordinances ch. 50 § 50-9, compliant rental property operators generally ensure their units are ready for a city inspection every two years, aligned with the license renewal cycle. Because inspections are scheduled within 60 days of license expiration, operators typically track their license expiration dates and maintain properties in a condition that meets city standards ahead of that window. Re-inspection and violation fees are set annually by the city council and listed in the fee schedule referenced in § 2-731, so staying current with that schedule helps operators anticipate potential costs.
