Dear Residential Rental Property Owner:

On August 3, 1998, the President and Board of Trustees amended the Wheeling Municipal Code

to add Chapter 4.84 Rental Residential Property. This chapter provides for the establishment of a

licensing and inspection program for all rental residential properties within the Village of

Wheeling. On November 23, 2015, Chapter 4.84 was amended by Ordinance No. 4965.

In summary, the Ordinance requires each individually titled rental residential property in the

Village, including single family buildings and individual condominium rental units, to be

licensed following submission of an application and an interior and exterior inspection of the

property. Each license fee for a single family building or individual condominium rental unit will

be $100.00 per building or unit. You will be notified when it’s time to renew your rental license.

Attached is the appropriate application needed for your residential rental property. Also enclosed

is the Village of Wheeling- Consent to Rental Residential Inspection form and the Wheeling Safe

Communities Lease Addendum. These forms must be signed by the owner and by the tenant/s

where applicable and submitted prior to an inspection being conducted. The Village Inspectors

will not enter any unit unless the tenant has signed the consent form.

Property owners and/or managers must also attend a Wheeling Safe Communities seminar

administered by Officer Scott Laverd with the Wheeling Police Department. Please contact

Officer Scott Laverd at 847-459-2645 within 90 days to reserve a time slot.

Please complete the enclosed application and submit it, along with the completed consent form,

lease addendum and the fee of $100.00 indicated above to:
