This item comes from the Colorado Springs Business Journal.
Basically, the city is considering charging landlords $1 per unit to raise funds for code enforcement. Doesn’t seem like a big deal, but the article neglects to mention if this fee is annual or monthly, how much money the city needs to get code enforcement where it needs to be, and what happens to the extra funds (though I’m sure this’ll all be covered in the print article the one linked above is teasing).
However, this really feels more like a way for a financially-strapped city to raise revenue under the guise of a necessary improvement. I’m waiting to see how this one plays out.
