Rental housing registration is underway in the City of Washington. Building and zoning official for the city, Steve Donnolly provided an update at this week’s city council meeting and stated he felt it is going well.

Staff mailed 370 letters to landlords informing them of the rental registration code. So far, 185 landlords have registered 585 units in Washington. City Administrator Brent Hinson estimates there are between 950 and 1050 rental units in the city.

Donnolly added he will be sending out another mailing to those who have yet to register their rental properties and he anticipates starting the inspection process this summer.
