*New* Rental Property License Procedure

Starting with 2023 Rental Property Licenses, there is a new procedure to follow. In 2022, the Commissioners voted to amend the existing Rental Property License Code with Ordinance 2022-05. This allows the Town to bring in an outside agency to perform rental inspections on rental properties – following the current building code. Since this is a new process, and we are all on a learning curve, we will be allowing inspections through February for rental properties this year. Once you submit your license application for your rental property, we will turn over the application lists to First State Inspection Agency, and inspections can then be coordinated. 

To prepare for inspections – First State Inspection Agency has provided their checklist for property owners so that items can be corrected before the inspection is scheduled, saving reinspection time and costs. That checklist can be found here – https://bridgeville.delaware.gov/license/ – along with First State’s fee schedule and the rental license application form. 

For any questions about this new process – please contact Town Hall at (302) 337-7135 or by email at townofbridgeville@gmail.com.
