Applicability.

Jackson Code of Ordinances § 26-523

in effect

Sec. 26-523. - Applicability. (a) The registration fees, renewal fees, and inspection provisions of this article shall apply to all rental housing units except: (1) Rental housing units that a government entity or housing authority owns, operates or manages; and (2) Institutional dormitories; (3) Rental housing units that receive funding or subsidies from federal, state, or local government provided the units are subject to federal, state, or local inspections. This exemption is intended to apply to those properties whose good condition is already being verified pursuant to other governmental programs, such as properties participating in federal housing programs that are subject to the inspections standards and timelines established by 24 C.F.R. § 5.701 et seq. On written request of the department, the owner shall, within 30 days, provide satisfactory documentation verifying the owner's rental housing unit and/or property participates in a qualifying program and is subject to inspections thereunder, failing which the department may revoke the owner's exemption, notify the owner of its intent to inspect the owner's units, and require the owner pay all fees applicable to non-exempt units and properties. (b) The department reserves the right to inspect properties otherwise exempt upon reasonable information and belief that specific units at such properties are in violation of property maintenance standards, in which case such units will be subject to the inspection processes and fees specified hereunder. (Ord. No. 2026-1(6), 12-2-25)
