In August 2023, the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance #261 authorizing inspection of all rental properties, effective Jan. 1, 2024. The ordinance provides the ability for the township to inspect residential rental units, requiring landlords to file reports listing all residential rental units, and authorizing the code enforcement officer to inspect the condition and use of such units and to enforce compliance with applicable ordinances and regulations. The rental inspection process requires the landlord or their representative to file an application form with the township. The form includes Tax ID, property address, property owner, types of units, number of units and number of tenants. There are associated annual fees to administer and perform the inspections. Read more about the new registry on Page 3 of the township’s winter 2024 newsletter. Access the rental registration form here.
