Cal. Civ. Code § 36-1-24-13
Expiration; authorization to charge a permit fee
Operative Text
Sec. 13. (a) A permit expires one (1) year after the date the permit is issued. (b) Except as provided in subsection (c), a unit may charge a permit fee, not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150), for each of the following: (1) An initial permit issued to an owner for the permitted property. (2) The issuance of a subsequent permit to an owner for the permitted property after the owner's previous permit has been revoked. (c) A unit may not charge a permit fee for renewing a permit, including renewal of a permit that has expired.
Under Indiana Code § 36-1-24-13, rental permits issued by a local unit of government are valid for one year from the date of issuance. A local unit may charge a fee of up to $150 when issuing an initial permit to a property owner or when reissuing a permit after a prior one has been revoked. However, no fee may be charged when a permit is renewed, even if that permit has already expired before renewal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 36-1-24-13, compliant operators are generally aware that their rental permit carries a one-year validity period and plan accordingly. When obtaining a permit for the first time, or when seeking a new permit following a revocation, a fee of up to $150 may be assessed by the local unit. Renewing a permit — including one that has lapsed — does not carry a fee, so operators familiar with this provision typically track permit timelines to take advantage of the no-cost renewal pathway.

Indiana Code § 36-1-24-13 governs how local governments issue and charge for rental permits, which can be relevant to whether a landlord is operating a lawfully permitted rental property. Tenants who have questions about whether their rental unit holds a valid permit may contact their local unit of government to inquire about permit status. Tenant-rights organizations can help renters understand how permit requirements in their jurisdiction may relate to habitability standards or other tenant protections.
