The City of Peoria has announced that all non-owner-occupied residential properties must be registered by February 28, 2024. This requirement applies to both vacant residential properties and residential rental properties. Registration forms and additional information can be found on the City of Peoria's website.

According to the announcement, the registration fees for the 2024-2025 period are as follows:

- Single-Family Properties: $75.00

- Multi-Family Properties: $75.00 for the first unit, $20.00 for each additional unit

To register, property owners have several options:
