This Ordinance requires every owner of a rental dwelling to keep on record with the Building Inspection Division contact information of two (2) or more persons located in Dane County who, by virtue of his or her ownership, employment, or delegation, can exercise control and care over the property, and provide access to the property. There is a $5.00 fee for each parcel that is recorded.
