Vacant Property Registration is required for all unoccupied property.

Owners of vacant property are required to register the property with the City and update the registration annually or when information changes.

The Vacant Property Registration provides a means for the City to be notified of vacant properties so City staff can keep an eye on them and know who to contact when there is a problem. It also requires regular inspections and ongoing maintenance in line with the Coos Bay Municipal Code, such as mowing the grass regularly and keeping the property secure. For out of area owners, the ordinance requires that there is a local contact, such as a property management company or realtor. There also has to be contact information posted on the property where it is clearly visible, which is useful for emergency services and also for neighbors.
