In a move to increase transparency in the local rental market, the City of Jacksonville has partnered with Jacksonville Area Legal Aid (JALA) to launch a new online resource for tenants. The website, jaxstablehousing.org, serves as a public registry where current and prospective renters can research specific properties within Duval County.

By entering an address into the portal, users can access three years of city code enforcement records to see if a property has a history of violations. While state law prevents the city from mandating that landlords register their properties, this tool provides a significant step toward accountability by aggregating public records into an easy-to-use search function for the public.
