Whitemarsh Township requires that owners of all rental units within the Township act in accordance with the Township Code's Rental Licenseing and Inspection Program requirements to ensure that each rental property is properly maintained by the owner and occupant. The Township Code provides for a regular inspection program, registration and licensing of residential rental units and penalties for noncompliance.
The property owner or agent of each rental property must register each rental unit with the Township Building and Codes Department and pay the required registration fee in accordance with the Township's Fee Schedule (page 12 - Rental Fee Schedule).

A property owner or agent must notify the Township in writing within thirty (30) calendar days following any change in the above information.
