Grove City does not maintain a citywide rental registration program. Rental units must comply with the Property Maintenance Code adopted in Grove City Codified Ordinance Chapter 1442 and receive complaint-based inspections.
Unlike Columbus (Chapter 4551 rental registry), Grove City has no mandatory rental licensing or annual registration fee. However, all rental dwellings must meet the International Property Maintenance Code as adopted under Grove City Codified Ordinances Chapter 1442. Code Enforcement Division investigates complaints regarding habitability, sanitation, and structural issues. Landlords renting to Section 8 voucher holders must pass Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority inspections. Ohio Senate Bill 430 (source-of-income protections) does not apply in Grove City.
