Toledo requires residential rental property registration under TMC Chapter 1760 (Residential Rental Property Registration). Owners must register all rental units with the Department of Neighborhoods annually and designate a local agent if owner lives more than 100 miles from Toledo.
Toledo Municipal Code Chapter 1760 requires owners of residential rental property to register each rental property with the City of Toledo Department of Neighborhoods. Registration includes owner contact information, number of units, and designation of an in-state agent for service of process if the owner resides outside Lucas County or more than 100 miles from Toledo. Registration must be renewed annually and updated within 30 days of any ownership change. Fee is typically 25 to 50 dollars per property. The registry helps the city contact responsible parties for code enforcement, lead hazard control (Toledo Lead Ordinance TMC 1760.02), and nuisance abatement. Toledo has a separate lead-safe certification program requiring inspections of pre-1978 rental units with children.
Failure to register: civil fine 100 to 500 dollars per property plus potential order to cease renting. Continued operation without registration: misdemeanor with escalating penalties.
