Summary

Staff explained Ordinance F will change property-owner registration to a rolling 12-month deadline tied to deed transfer rather than a single annual deadline, so each property's registration will be due 12 months after transfer.

Staff described substantive edits to Ordinance F (residential/commercial property owner registration): instead of a single annual implementation deadline, registration will roll and be due 12 months after the date of deed transfer for each property. The staff member explained the prior version set a universal February 1 deadline but the updated approach staggers deadlines "in perpetuity" based on establishment date.

Council members asked whether the staggered schedule would be difficult to administer and staff said it should be easier than collecting registrations en masse at the end of January. "So it's gonna be there's not gonna be a deadline? Everyone's just gonna have to... be based on the date that the deed is transferred," staff said.
