Posting Of Registration
Operative Text
Each registration permit issued by the city shall be displayed in a conspicuous spot near the front entrance and shall be visible to all residents. Only one registration need be posted for each separate apartment building. Failure to post a permit shall not be grounds for suspension or revocation of that permit, but such violation shall subject the permittee to a $50.00 penalty for issuance of a new registration permit. HISTORY Adopted by Ord. 21-02-01 on 2/22/2021
Under Grand Rapids Ch. 28 Rental Housing Code § 28-36, every city-issued rental registration permit must be displayed in a conspicuous location near the front entrance of the rental property, where it is visible to all residents. For apartment buildings with multiple units, only one permit needs to be posted for the entire building. Importantly, failing to post the permit does not trigger suspension or revocation of the permit itself, but it does carry a $50 monetary penalty tied to the issuance of a new registration permit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Grand Rapids Ch. 28 Rental Housing Code § 28-36 generally ensure that their city-issued registration permit is mounted in a clearly visible spot near the building's front entrance as soon as it is received. For multi-unit apartment buildings, a single posted permit satisfies the requirement for the entire structure. While non-posting does not put the permit itself at risk of suspension or revocation, compliant operators avoid the $50 penalty by keeping the permit continuously and visibly displayed.

Grand Rapids Ch. 28 Rental Housing Code § 28-36 gives residents the right to see their building's rental registration permit posted near the front entrance. If a permit is not visibly displayed, that absence is a code violation, even though it does not by itself cause the landlord's permit to be suspended or revoked. Tenants who notice a missing posting may report the concern to the City of Grand Rapids, or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
