Englewood requires vacant and abandoned residential and commercial properties to be registered annually with the city, with extra fees for ongoing code violations.
Englewood's Property Registration Program identifies and monitors vacant and abandoned residential and commercial properties within the city. Owners must register and pay an annual fee of $250 per certificate of registration for a vacant or abandoned property. An additional $500 fee applies if an outstanding property maintenance or code violation remains unabated at renewal. The program supports city efforts to track distressed properties, ensure responsibility, and recover enforcement costs from absent owners.
Failing to register a vacant property, missing annual renewal, or letting code violations persist at renewal triggers escalating fees plus enforcement actions.
