Font Size: + -

To help maintain the integrity of Plymouth’s rental housing, the city requires a rental dwelling license for all rental dwellings, single family through multi family. A rental dwelling license is valid for three years for one and two family dwellings and annually for all others. The city inspects apartment buildings annually, and all other residential housing every three years. The city verifies that the property is registered for occupancy and meets the standards set forth in Section 405 - Property Maintenance, Section 410 - Rental Licensing, and Section 960 - Public Peace and Safety of the city code for rental units.

Other Information

The city adopted the 2012 Edition of the International Property Maintenance Code with amendments.

Short-Term Rental Licensing Ordinance

The Plymouth City Council adopted changes to the city code that address short-term rentals, commonly referred to as Vrbo or Airbnb. All property owners who operate a short-term rental must fulfil short-term rental license requirements which include an application, fee, rental inspection, completion of mandatory city training, and complete the monthly lodging tax submittal.

A short-term rental is defined as accommodations at a residential dwelling property, or unit of a residential dwelling, that is rented for a duration of less than 30 days at one time, not including properties meeting the definition of “Hospitality Accommodation” in Section 435 of the city code.
