Rental Registration

The Lakeville City Council adopted an ordinance in September 2023 to require residential rental property registration for long-term home rentals (defined as 32 days or longer). The purpose of the ordinance is to build strong partnerships with rental property owners to ensure that rental housing in the City is decent, safe and sanitary.

Registration helps the City of Lakeville identify rental properties and creates an opportunity for the City to provide educational materials to property owners and occupants of residential rental properties. Registration also builds an up-to-date rental property contact list in case of an emergency and, in turn, provides rental property owners with a city liaison to help address problems or answer questions. The ordinance applies to all residential units that are rental as defined by the ordinance, with exception for licensed facilities, hotels or motels and an owner-occupied dwelling unit.

Registration Requirement

If you are a residential property owner, please take a few minutes to fill out the registration form below. There is no fee to register, but the ordinance does make registration mandatory (no city inspections are required). Registration is required on a one-time basis, unless contact information or property ownership changes. Note: If you own more than one rental property, you must complete a form for each property.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation in registering your rental property/properties!
