Any Gloucester City landlords/agents out there?

[Joe P.]

Hi all,

I just purchased my first (really, the second) investment property in Gloucester City in August. I've got a few questions about the CO/licenses/extra costs mandated by the city.

Is anyone familiar with them and might be able to give me a few minutes of their time?

Specifically, interested in the following:

• Certificate of Occupancy -- do you need a new one every time a tenant moves in, every year, or some other interval? And what is the cost for this each time? The previous owner took care of the COs before I purchased, but I'm not sure how long they last.
• I received a "Registration Renewal" from the city for my duplex (each unit costs money), and same question as above -- do you need a new renewal every time a tenant moves in, every year, or some other interval?
• Are there any other costs in Gloucester City I should be aware of, e.g. local departments like Police/Fire/Garbage? The above two items did not come up in my due diligence and I want to make sure this is just a puddle, not a well.

Thanks in advance BP for your help!!!
