Wyoming requires every residential rental property to be registered with the Building Inspections Division of Community and Economic Development. Owners must identify the owner and any local property manager and pay the registration fee adopted by the City Council before renting.
The City of Wyoming's rental property registration program is administered by the Building Inspections Division at City Hall, 1155 28th Street SW (phone 616-530-7226). Every owner of a residential rental dwelling within the City limits must complete a Rental Property Registration Form identifying the property address, the owner's full legal name and residential address (no P.O. boxes), and any property manager acting as a local agent for service of process. Registration is paired with a periodic inspection on a cycle set by Building Inspections; standards drawn from the International Property Maintenance Code and Michigan Residential Code cover smoke and CO alarms (required by MCL 125.1504e), egress windows, working heat, hot and cold water, intact electrical service, sound roof and walls, and freedom from infestation. Federal lead-paint disclosure under 42 U.S.C. §4852d applies to pre-1978 units. Michigan Truth in Renting Act (MCL 554.631+) governs lease form.
Renting an unregistered unit, failing to update ownership or manager information, refusing inspection entry, or missing correction deadlines violates the Wyoming City Code. Citations go to the 62-A District Court at 2650 DeHoop Avenue SW with per-offense fines, and the City may withhold or revoke the certificate of compliance and post the property as unfit for occupancy.
