Snellville does not maintain a mandatory rental property registry. Landlords operating as a business entity (LLC, corporation) must obtain a city occupation tax certificate. Gwinnett County does not require countywide rental registration. Inspections are complaint-driven through code enforcement.
Unlike Atlanta's rental registration program or the proactive rental inspection regimes in Athens-Clarke County and Savannah, Snellville has not adopted a mandatory rental registry under its Code of Ordinances. Landlords who operate their rental as a business (through an LLC, partnership, or corporation) must obtain an occupation tax certificate from Snellville City Hall (2342 Oak Road) under Chapter 22 of the city code, and pay the annual occupation tax based on gross receipts or flat-fee schedule. Individual homeowners renting a single property in their personal name generally are not required to register. Gwinnett County likewise does not run a countywide rental registry - property oversight occurs only in response to complaints routed to Gwinnett County Code Enforcement (770-513-5000). Inspections verify compliance with the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), which Georgia adopts through its State Minimum Standard Codes, covering smoke and CO detectors (GA Code Section 25-2-40), electrical and plumbing safety, heating, structural integrity, and general habitability. Georgia's Landlord-Tenant Act (GA Code Section 44-7-1 et seq.) governs the lease relationship, but imposes no statewide registration obligation.
Failure to obtain occupation tax certificate: late fee plus back taxes. Code violations found on inspection: abatement orders under city code general penalty (up to $1,000 per day).
