Flood Impacted Landlords (FILL) Group Formed








The Cedar Rapids Small Business Recovery Group (CRSBRG) announced Wednesday, October 14, 2009, the expansion of the originally formed subgroup representing flood impacted landlords. The group, is now formally named FILL - Flood Impacted Landlords. This group is a continuation of the grass-roots efforts of the CRSBRG in supporting the needs of flood impacted landlords in Cedar Rapids and the surrounding areas.

It is estimated 50% of all flood impacted housing in Cedar Rapids is owned by landlords, yet the needs of landlords have been largely been ignored during the past 16 months. Delays and eligibility requirements associated with current CDBG funding have left many landlords unable to rebuild.

Those interested in additional information may contact FILL by email - FILL@q.com. Interested individuals should include their name and other contact information including mailing address and phone number for periodic updates regarding FILL activities.

FILL urges all flood impacted landlords to attend a meeting set for October 27, 2009, at 6 p.m. The meeting will be held at Affordable Plumbing, 816 1st Ave., N.W., Cedar Rapids.

This Week in Washington DC: Discussion of Extention of the Homebuyer Tax Breaks

One of the items under discussion in Washington D.C. this week:


Homebuyer Tax Breaks: Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House may extend and
possibly expand the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers that is
currently due to expire Nov. 30. Those in favor of the action say the tax break
has given a much needed boost to the mortgage industry. Those against it say the
government needs those funds so it doesn’t have to raise taxes elsewhere. They
suggest that the tax break be reserved for those who buy homes in the
weakest markets or in areas that are plagued with foreclosures.

Completed a City Inspection this morning for a Client


The City of Cedar Rapids requires rental properties to be registered with the City. This morning we completed a City Inspection for a four bedroom house on the City's SE side in Indian Creek Hills. Tommy Tucker Realty Co. specializes in providing property management services for a variety of clients.

The City’s housing code requires that owners of rental property register
their property with the Housing Inspection section within 30 days of transfer of
title or possession of such property. Once the property has been determined to
be rental, housing inspectors will contact the owner to establish a date for a
complete inspection of the property. At that time, it will be necessary for the
inspector to have access to all housing units, the basement, common areas, etc.

  • Cedar Rapids has elected to operate its program on a 5-year cycle

Rental Housing Inspection Fees

  • Registrations
  • Valid Complaint Inspections
  • Initial Inspections - includes one reinspection
  • Subsequent Reinspections
  • Trip Charge (inability to inspect)
  • Housing Appeals - Filing Fees
  • Housing code enforcement displacement, moving, and housing fees per unit, when property is placarded due to owner code violation

Tommy Tucker Realty Co. began in 1958. In 1969, we acquired our property management division, Professional Management Associates Co. We have assisted clients and customers in single family and multi-family rental housing, since our company's beginning. If you have questions about our services, please feel free to contact Robin Tucker, Broker/Officer at (319) 365-6956 or by e-mail.
