The Rental Property Registration
and Inspection Program was adopted on October
10, 2006 (Ordinance
2055) and amended on May 8, 2007 (Ordinance
2090). The goal of this program is to improve
and maintain the residential rental housing community
through standards which promote a healthy, save,
and inviting environment. With the operation of
this program, along with community participation,
the outcome will ensure a safer rental housing
stock, protect property values, and improve accountability
of rental units.

inspections of all rental properties within a
three-year cycle. The timing of inspections will
depend upon a number of factors which are outlined
in the Ordinance.
Effective Dates The established program year will be
May 1 to April 30.
ALL residential
property in the Village of Rantoul is required
to be registered. This includes owner-occupied
property. Although they are exempt from inspections,
a ONE-TIME registration is required in order to
distinguish between owner-occupied property versus
rental property.
If selling your property,
please notify the Division of Rental Inspections.
Registrations are not transferable. New owners
are required to register within 30 days of transfer
of ownership. All unregistered property is
assumed rental property and is included in the
inspection program.
