Why This Vote Matters
The city will charge landlords new fees of $47 per rental unit this year and $98 per unit next year, after the council approved the measure with broad support in a 5-1 vote. Mayor Butt was the sole dissenter. The fees will be added to the city's official fee schedule, and landlords who pay late will face penalties and potential property liens. This continues the council majority's pattern of supporting housing-related measures, while Mayor Butt has consistently opposed about half of housing items that come before the council.
