About the Program
In 2022, the City of Fishers released a public report that found it imperative to the City’s long-term vibrancy to maintain high-quality rental stock as many older homes that are currently owner-occupied enter the rental market.
Considering this trend and the increasing numbers of out-of-state ownership (47% of all SF rentals) and institutional investor ownership (25% of all SF rentals), the City Council passed an ordinance that requires registration of every single-family rental property within Fishers City limits as well as enforce a 10% maximum cap of single-family rental properties.
