FAQS About Baltimore County Rental Registration
Properties with six or fewer dwelling units need a state-licensed inspection. For
properties with more than six units, a Multifamily Inspection Form submission is required
unless self-certification is possible.
Only state-licensed inspectors are authorized. They must fill out an Inspection Sheet for
each unit. Inspectors qualified for both lead and home inspections can cover both
requirements for pre-1978 properties.
Inspections check for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, electrical and plumbing
safety, operational windows, proper ventilation of appliances, and safe secondary escape
routes.
Costs are negotiated between the property owner and the inspector, as Baltimore County
does not set inspection rates.
An Inspection Sheet, lead inspection certificate for older homes, and tenant information
forms are among the required documents.
