Do I Need Any Other Licenses?

[Karen Johnson]

Hello,

I'm in the process of purchasing a rental property in Pennsylvania and I want to make sure I have all the right licenses in place before renting it out. I'm purchasing the property in my name, not under an LLC or other business entity. I know what is required for my local municipality (Ambler Boro). I've been informed that Montgomery County only has requirements if the tenant has a housing voucher. When I was landlording in Philadelphia I needed a Commercial Activity License and some other permits/documentation from the city. Does anyone from this area know what other requirements I may need to meet in my new area? Thanks in advance.
