How to Register a Rental Property for RRIO

1. Login to your Seattle Services Portal account or create an account 
2. On the Home page, under Create New, click Rental Housing Registrations (RRIO)
3. On the next screen, click on the Rental Property Registration bubble, and then click Continue Application
4. Search for a property by entering the street address, then click Search
   

   Our system no longer uses the parcel number. The parcel field will be filled with a number used internally. Using your King County parcel number will not return a result. Please use your street address instead.

   1. If the search has a single result, the address will auto-populate in the screen.
   2. If the search has multiple results, you should see a page like the one below. Click on the Selection Bubble of the correct property address.
   3. Click Select; the address will be populated in the screen
      
5. Click Continue Application

   2. Indicate the type of contact (Owner, Applicant, and Tenant Contact for Repairs)
   3. Add the next contact until you have all three as shown below. (You may enter additional contact types in addition to the three required.)
