HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR NEW OR POTENTIAL RESIDENTS

Occupancy inspections and permits should be obtained any time a property vacates/ populates. The occupancy inspection ensures the safety of the new inhabitants as well as updates any code corrections that may be present from normal wear and tear.  It also checks the safety of the structure, and determines the amount of people who can safely inhabit a property. Occupancy inspections and occupancy permits should be obtained BEFORE a person moves into a residence.

Inspections are ordered at City Hall, costs are as follows:

Business/Apartments $95.00 + Permit $10.00

Single Family Residence $125.00+ Permit $10.00

Occupancy inspections are good for one year or until someone moves into the property.

Things needed for occupancy:

*Valid Color Photo ID of any adult residing at the home

*Name and date of birth of any children living in the home for school purposes

*Year, make, model, color and license plate of any vehicle at the residence on a regular basis

*Woodson Terrace does require pet licenses. To get your pet licensed please bring a current vaccination record.

*The “tag”  starts in May and is good for one year. Prices range from $1-$3.00 per animal.
