What does the Louisville Lead-Based Paint Ordinance Require?
The Louisville Lead-Based Paint Ordinance requires all long-term rentals to be certified Lead-Safe or Lead-Free. In order to comply, all property owners must upload a Lead Hazard Control Report to the Rental Registry. This report has to be completed by a Certified Lead Risk Assessor. The inspection involves 4 elements at a MINIMUM
Visual Inspection of the Grounds
Visual Inspection of the Exterior
Visual Inspection of the Interior
Dust Wipe Samples of the Interior
If the Visual Inspections identify areas of concern, additional samples will be required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a Lead Based Paint Inspection?
Lead paint is banned because lead is a toxic metal that can cause 1) Brain damage, 2) developmental delays, 3) intellectual disabilities, and 4) poor performance especially in children. The Louisville City Council passed an Ordinance which establishes Chapter 167 of the LMCO and states that all properties built before 1978 must be Lead-Safe or Lead-Free or the property may not be used as a long-term rental. It is up to the owner to have the house tested and to submit the test results within the given timelines to comply. To schedule, CLICK HERE
