All single family and multi family residences used as rental properties in the City of Sugar Land to be licensed and inspected by the city. 

As soon as the city receives your application, we will conduct an inspection of the exterior and grounds of your property to ensure that it is in compliance with all of the city’s health, sanitation, and property maintenance codes. If no violations are found, the city will issue a license to continue operating your property as a rental unit. If violations are discovered, the city will work with you to establish a schedule for the remediation of the violations and the issuance of a rental license.

Owners of unlicensed rental properties can be fined up to $500 a day for each day that the unit is rented without a license. Water service will not be provided to rental properties without a license.
