Pickerington does not operate a mandatory rental registration or inspection program. Rental units are subject to the city property maintenance code and Ohio landlord-tenant law but do not require annual licensing.
Unlike Columbus, Cleveland, and other large Ohio cities that require rental registration, Pickerington enforces habitability complaint-driven through the Building and Zoning Department. Landlords must comply with ORC Chapter 5321 (security deposit rules, habitability, 24-hour entry notice) and the Pickerington Property Maintenance Code adopted under Codified Ordinance Chapter 1313.
Property maintenance violations are addressed by correction notices; fines up to 150 dollars per day apply for continuing violations. Security deposit disputes are handled in Fairfield County small claims court.
