Summary
Fishers ties rental permits directly to code-compliance history: an owner's registration must disclose prior Title XV citations, unpaid utilities, and public-safety-call volume, and the city can deny or revoke a home rental permit over any of them under City Code §§ 163.04(A)(8), 163.05(B)(2), and 163.06(A).
(A) A home rental unit permit may be revoked under the following circumstances: (1) Failure to correct violations within the time specified in a notice of violation issued pursuant to this chapter; (2) Any other violation of Title XV of the Fishers Municipal Code; (3) Continued delinquency of city utility bills; or (4) Any specific provisions of the city ordinances that place undue burden on public safety resources (i.e. more than seven calls for service to public safety).
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Supplement contains: Local legislation current through Ordinance No. 051826E, passed 5-18-26; and Resolution No. R051826C, passed 5-18-26; and State legislation current through Indiana Legislative Service, 2026 Acts, Pamphlet #1).
Full Breakdown
Registration forms must state whether the property has been cited for a Title XV violation, is current on city utility bills, and has drawn more than seven public-safety calls for service. Those same three factors control permit issuance, the Director may still issue a permit despite a violation if the public interest supports it, and drive revocation: uncorrected violations, other Title XV violations, utility delinquency, or an undue public-safety-call burden are each standalone grounds for revocation under § 163.06(A).
Violations & Fines
A revoked permit bars further rental occupancy at the property; the city Law Department can sue in Fishers City Court or Hamilton County Circuit/Superior Court to enforce a revocation under § 163.06(B).
