FORT COLLINS, Colo. - The City of Fort Collins is providing in-person support for landlords and property managers registering their rental properties before the deadline of Jan. 1, 2025.

The City's final “Registration Rodeo” event on Dec. 7 will offer property owners the opportunity to register their rental properties with assistance from City staff:

• Date: Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024
• Time: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Location: Fort Collins Senior Center (1200 Raintree Dr.)

The Rental Housing team will be on hand to guide landlords and property managers through the registration process, answer questions and share resources. Breakfast, coffee and hourly raffle drawings provided. RSVP is requested at fcgov.com/rodeoRSVP.

Most rental properties within Fort Collins city limits must register annually beginning in 2025; owner-occupied rentals and properties in mobile home parks are exempt from registration. The base registration fee is $37 per property, with an additional $10 per unit for multi-unit properties like duplexes and apartment buildings. Inspections are not required as part of the registration process.

"The Rental Registration Program allows property owners to self-certify that their units are meeting minimum housing standards, promoting safe housing choices for our community," City of Fort Collins Rental Housing Manager Alyssa Stephens said. "Rental Registration is just one part of our efforts to support tenants and local housing providers through grants, educational programs, and other resources.”

The City is offering monthly prize drawings and other incentives for all properties registered before Dec. 31, 2024. Registration can be completed online in less than 10 minutes.

Tenants will benefit from the ability to verify a property's registration status before signing a lease. When landlords register their properties, they certify that they meet our local codes, ensuring a safe and comfortable living space.
