Annual Program Fees for FY25-26

Published on May 20, 2025

The Alameda Rent Program has announced the annual program fees for fiscal year 2025-2026. Landlords pay an annual program fee to the City to cover the costs to provide and administer the Rent Program. Fee amounts are updated annually in accordance with Resolution 15771.

The fee amounts for FY25-26:

The fee is owed on any residential unit that will be rented to a tenant at any time during the City’s fiscal year, from July 1 to June 30 of the following calendar year. The per-unit amount is determined by whether the property is registered as a) fully regulated and subject to all provisions of the Rent Ordinance or b) partially regulated and exempt from rent control under state law but still subject to all other provisions of the Rent Ordinance.

Rental units occupied by tenants participating in a rent subsidy program (e.g., Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8) are eligible for a fee waiver. To receive the waiver for the 2025-26 program year, landlords must complete Form RP-225(PDF, 205KB) along with a copy of their 2024 1099-MISC tax form issued by the administering agency (e.g., Housing Authority of the City of Alameda) 

For more information on different unit types and regulation levels, please see the program FAQs.

Important Dates

Beginning June 1, 2025, Landlords may use the Rent Registry to submit registration and pay program fees online. Landlords who submit online registration will be able to pay the program fee by credit card or e-check immediately afterward. The Rent Program is also now accepting annual registration statements using Form RP-221(B).

Landlords who have not paid the fee online will receive an invoice that will be mailed on July 1, 2025. If registration has not been received by that point, the invoice will be based on the registration information currently in the registry.

Both annual registration and program fees are due by August 31, 2025.
