Rental registration is now open

Registration deadline extended to Feb. 1

CARMEL, Ind., Dec. 2, 2025 - The Carmel City Council last night voted unanimously to extend the registration deadline for rental dwellings to Feb. 1, 2026.

Properties existing prior to the Feb. 1, 2026 enforcement date (legacy dwellings) must be registered by Jan. 31, 2026. Registering by this date ensures a permit is issued, even if the dwelling is in a subdivision with more than the new 10% rental limit.

While the standard registration fee is $5 per property, a tiered late fee structure will be applied starting Feb. 1, 2026, assessing a $100 late fee for registrations 30 days late and a $200 late fee for registrations 60 days late.

Those interested in registering a property may access the Rental Registration page at this link.

In addition, those who submitted their email address to receive updates about the process will receive a reminder with a link to the registration site.
