Missouri City requires every owner of a residential rental property to register the unit annually with the city and pay a permit fee under the Residential Rental Registration Program.
The Residential Rental Registration Program requires owners of single-family, duplex, and multifamily rental units to file an application with the city, identify the property and a local contact, and renew the permit every year. The program exists to support code compliance, life-safety inspections, and emergency response. Failure to register, or operating without a current permit, is an enforceable violation. Permits must be kept current as ownership or contact information changes.
Civil and criminal penalties up to $500 per day for unregistered units; refusal of inspections may trigger additional fines and rental moratoriums.
