The City of Salisbury Department of Neighborhood Services & Code Compliance (NSCC) reminds rental dwelling unit owners (landlords) that on or before January 15, 2011 the Internal Services Department will begin mailing invoices for the renewal of rental dwelling unit owners licenses and rental dwelling unit registrations. The deadline to renew a rental unit owner’s license or re-register a rental dwelling unit is Tuesday, March 1, 2011.
Please be reminded that the rental unit owner’s license and/or rental dwelling unit registration fee is now $32.50 (thirty two dollars and fifty cents) per individual unit or license.
Again this year, in accordance with Section 19-103 of Article 24, Annotated Code of Maryland, the owner of residential rental property must state in writing to the City of Salisbury that the property is either not affected by the State Lead Paint law, or that the owner of the rental unit has registered or re-registered the property with the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). A rental registry checklist will be provided with your invoice.
If you have questions or would like to get more information please feel free to contact us @ (410) 341-9550

Please be aware that registering your rental unit with the City of Salisbury does not constitute a legal rental in the eyes of all City departments. I am on my way to the zoning appeals meeting at 7 p.m. - I purchased a home advertised with an efficiency apartment, taxed since 1991 as such and had six years of rental licenses before signing the real estate contract. Now 16 months later I have hired two attorneys and appealed to circuit court, judge sent the case back to zoning as no legal definition was referred in the letter from zoning advising I had to vacate the "illegal" apartment. In addition to my fulltime and first part time job I am now working a second part time job - the rent from this apartment pays 49% of my mortgage. Be aware that you could have a "licensed" (issued by the City of Salisbury Neighborhood Services & Code Complance) "illegal" (City of Salisbury Department of Zoning)rental property. Gotta go 6:45!
