The unincorporated county runs no rental registry, but the City of Peoria does. Given its older housing stock and Bradley University rentals, Peoria requires owners to register every rental annually, pay a fee, and name a local property manager. A crime-free lease and nuisance rules also apply.
Rental registration in Illinois is a municipal tool, and the City of Peoria runs one of the region's more active programs. Every rental, vacant home, and non-owner-occupied residential property must register through the Residential Property Registration program and renew each year by February 28. The base fee is about $75 for a single-family rental, with a $150 late fee. An owner living outside Peoria, Tazewell, or Woodford County must appoint a local property manager with an office in one of those three counties. Peoria also enforces a crime-free housing and chronic-nuisance ordinance tied to the Property Maintenance Code. Chillicothe, Bartonville, and the unincorporated county rely on complaint-based code enforcement rather than registration.
Renting an unregistered Peoria property, or missing the February 28 renewal, brings a $150 late fee per property and code-enforcement penalties. Failing to name a qualifying local property manager also violates the registration ordinance.
