Rental Inspections

  Frequently Asked Questions:

Q.        I have a rental house in the City of Lake Worth, is anything required before a renter can move in?

A.        City Ordinance No. 853 requires that all rental properties have a yearly inspection before a tenant can move in and establish utilities in their name. The owner of the property must complete a Rental Release Form and pay the $25.00 inspection fee. Once this has been turned in an inspection will be scheduled for the inspector to come out. Once the inspection has been passed the renter may move in and have the utilities turned on under their name.
