The City of Indianola Rental Housing Inspection Program begins in 2022, after the latest census data showed the city with a population of over 15,000 which prompted the creation of the program as required by state law.

Rental housing in the city limits of Indianola will be phased into three inspection periods for the rental housing inspection program. These three inspection periods are determined by ward location. Ward 1 and 3 will each be allocated seven months to inspect each rental unit. Ward 2 and 4 will be inspected together over a period of seven months.

Rental housing existing in Ward 1 will be the first to begin their inspections on April 1 through Oct. 31, 2022.

Ward 3 will be inspected from Nov. 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023.

Lastly, Ward 2 and 4 will be inspected together from June 1, 2023 through Dec. 31, 2023.

Registration for rental housing will be made available on the City of Indianola website.
