Lawrenceville does not maintain a universal rental-unit registry. However, all rental property owners must hold an Occupation Tax Certificate for rental activity and comply with property maintenance code.
Some Georgia cities (e.g., Atlanta, Brookhaven) operate rental registration programs; Lawrenceville currently requires only a business/occupation tax license for landlords and does not maintain an inspection-based rental registry. Multi-family complexes may be subject to periodic property-maintenance inspections upon complaint. Investor-owned single-family rentals are not routinely inspected absent a complaint.
Operating rentals without Occupation Tax Certificate: $500+ fine plus back taxes.
