College Station Rental Registration Requirement Beginning March 1 2009!
February 11th, 2009 Categories: Buying, Neighborhoods
College Station Requires you to Register Your Tenants? Or Do you have to Register the College Station Landlord? Or Do You Register the College Station Property? Registration begins March 1, 2009 and must be done within 90 days!
Yes!
Registration of the property with contact information so the City can get in touch with the actual landlord/owner is required. This year the fee is $15 for each property. Who knows what the fee will be next year or the years to come. Once the registration begins it will be easy for the City of College Station to know how many properties are rentals (and which ones) to make more mandates if they would like. It will be much easier to find out how many unrelated people are in a property if they know which ones are rented. Did Texas A&M know about the registration? Did they agree?
Is this the beginning of additional regulations of rental properties in College Station? Is this a way to mandate fewer students? Is this good for the city or is it something that will hurt property values? Will this cause investors to look to purchase in Bryan rather than College Station to stay away from more government regulations?
Who knows!

Girl Scout Cookies and College Station Texas
February 8th, 2009 Categories: Community Events
Have you noticed the Girl Scouts are out in force selling cookies? Did you stop to buy a few? I sure hope so!
Who are these girls? Why are they selling cookies – especially at this time of the year?
The girls selling cookies are girls who have chosen to work together for a common goal. They work together on projects to learn about their community, learn about themselves, learn about the world. Sad to say but it takes money to do this. It takes money to prepare the materials and to educate them. Since girls may be members no matter what their economic status money is always needed. So, the girls typically have 2 major fund raisers each year. In the fall they sell Nuts and in the Winter they sell cookies.
The girls are all ages – from elementary through high school. And, yes, being a Girl Scout in high school is a bit of a challenge. Sometimes being different (a Girl Scout) isn’t cool but these girls know what they want, they are good kids with good grades working to give back to the community and are selling cookies to help fund their projects.
I’m a little curious about the reaction many people have to the girls selling Read the rest of this entry »
