Clerk proposes amending commercial/industrial rental license rule to avoid double licensing
Summary
Village Clerk Catherine Linan recommended changing a 2025 amendment so entities and affiliated tenants would need only one license rather than separate business and rental licenses; she said she will revise the list of covered properties and trustees discussed fee implications.
Clerk Catherine Linan briefed trustees on a follow-up to an October 2025 amendment to the village business license ordinance that had added a rental license requirement for owners of commercial and industrial properties who rent them to tenants.
Clerk Linan said her research showed some corporations and affiliated companies would be required to take out two licenses twice a year—once for a business license and again for a rental license. She recommended amending the ordinance so that "if entity and tenant are affiliates, then one license would be required." Trustees discussed how fees should be structured for property owners with multiple units; Clerk Linan told the board she will revise the list of businesses and industrial buildings that will require a license under the amended ordinance and return with updated language.
The Committee did not take a final vote on the ordinance change; the clerk will prepare a revised list and amended ordinance language for future consideration. The discussion focused on limiting duplicative licensing where corporate affiliates are involved and on setting fee structures for owners with multiple rental units.
