Rental Application/Inspection with City

[Robert Johnson II]

I have a single family 3/2 rental going on the market soon in Garland, TX. I recently realized the city requires all single-family rentals to undergo an inspection process and $65 application each time the property changes tenants.  Should I register the property or just ignore this registration process?

The house is in good general condition with some recent cosmetic updates and preventative maintenance, but I don't like the idea of an inspection opening up a can worms with the city that I'm not expecting. The house has some minor foundation issues and I'm fairly certain the 2-3 year old HVAC system was installed without a permit. Looking for advice if anyone has experience with cities that require this pre-rental inspection/application.  

I'm weighing the cost of potential issues with the city down the road for not registering the property vs. an inspection that could potentially cost me now.

This is a B property in a B-/C+ neighborhood. The property is worth about $180k renting for $1,600. 

Thanks in advance for any input! I'm leaning toward doing the registration.
