Vacant buildings can be a source of blight in both residential and non-residential neighborhoods, especially if these buildings are not properly maintained. Even one vacant building which is not actively maintained and managed can become a burden to the community, becoming the core and cause of spreading blight. The City of Montebello now requires that vacant properties be registered with the Code Enforcement Division so that we may work in partnership with property owners to ensure our City's standards are met and maintained.
Please check out Ordinance 2329 for more information.
If the property is vacant or abandoned, the beneficiary/trustee must register the property with the City of Montebello within ten (10) days of a transfer, vacancy, or subsequent vacancy. The registration and related fee shall be valid for the calendar year, or the remaining portion of the calendar year, in which registration was required. The registration fee shall not be prorated. The Annual Registration Renewal date is January 1st of each year and must be turned in no later than January 31st.
