Grant funding will be available periodically to support repairs, maintenance, and upgrades of rental properties.  We anticipate the next round of funding to be available in summer of 2024.

A rental inspection is an inspection of your home/apartment to ensure that it is meeting the City of Fort Collins Rental Housing Minimum Requirements. This is to ensure that the home provides a safe and healthy environment for residents to live in. Inspectors will look at the exterior, interior, electrical, mechanical and fire safety.  

You can schedule an inspection any time you believe that your rental home is not meeting minimum standards.  We recommend that renters contact their landlord about maintenance or repair before scheduling a rental inspection.  Their rental property is their investment, and they benefit from having it in good working order.  

We recommend contacting us first through phone at 970-657-9521 or email at rentalhousing@fcgov.com so we can learn more about your situation and provide suggestions or resources.  You can also fill out an "inspection request form and email it to us.  After the form is submitted, we will work with you to schedule the inspection. 

Most rental properties must be registered.  The exceptions are if the property is owner-occupied (if you live in the unit and rent out a bedroom) or if the property is in a mobile home park.

The registration system will open in April of 2024.  Owners/landlords who register early can gain access to incentives and prizes, including mini-grants for home repair and maintenance.

The registration fee is $37 for the property.  This base fee includes the cost for one unit.  If there is more than one unit on the property (ex: duplex, triplex, apartment building), then there is an additional $10 fee per unit.

So, if you have 3 units total, it would be $37 (property and first unit) + $20 (2 additional units) = $57.
