Code Enforcement Activity Report �j (4) Pasco Rental License Program: January- December 2013 This report tracks progress in the annual licensing of rental units. As of February 1, 2013, we estimated that there are 6,357 rental units in the City. As license applications and non - rental certifications are received, these units are deleted from the figure of our original estimate of the total number of rental units. As of April 30, 5,284 dwelling units have been licensed or certified as non - rentals. This is over 83% of the estimated total. April Code Enforcement /Rental License Program Highlights In April, Pasco City Council revised the City's yard sale permit regulations, making it much easier for residents to acquire yard sale permits and clarifying yard sale sign placement restrictions. The new rules require residents to acquire a no -fee yard sale permit which is valid for two consecutive days, and allow two such sales per calendar year, per residence. Yard sale permit applications can be completed on the City's website and the no -fee permits can be printed from the applicants home computer. Pasco Code enforcement officers will investigate reports of unlicensed and excessive yard sales and improper sign placement on Saturdays and Sundays, during their weekend code enforcement patrols. The May report will be submitted on June 10, 2013. If you have any questions during the interim, please call.
